Linux is one of the best decisions you can make for your computer — but knowing where to start is the hard part. This guide walks you through everything: choosing a distribution, installing it, and using it confidently every day. It was written by Jay LaCroix of Learn Linux TV, for complete beginners. No prior experience required.

The engine never crashed. Every test passed. Then the opening auction cleared, order flow jumped fivefold, and for eight minutes it matched every order correctly against a book that was already 700 milliseconds out of date. Several hundred clients got fills that were individually plausible and collectively wrong. Nothing in the logs said why.This book is about that gap between "thread-safe" and "deterministic," and how to close it: lock-free CAS design, cache-line layout measured with perf c2c, zero-allocation hot paths, jitter hunted down to the interrupt level, and proof that the same event log replays byte-for-byte identical ten thousand times, including after a crash.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

Unlock the full potential of CatBoost — a powerful gradient boosting library built for structured/tabular data and still underused in practice.In Mastering CatBoost: The Hidden Gem of Tabular AI, you’ll learn how to take advantage of CatBoost’s key strengths: native categorical feature handling, strong accuracy, and fast inference — without brittle preprocessing pipelines.Written for data scientists, ML engineers, and applied researchers, the book covers:Real-world use cases and end-to-end workflowsPractical tuning strategies and diagnosticsInterpretability with SHAP, feature importance, and constraintsDeployment-minded best practices and common failure modesWhether you’re new to CatBoost or ready to go deeper, this is a clear, practical guide to building high-performance tabular models.Early Access is available now, with ongoing updates leading to the full release in 2026.

Learn to take full control of Live through the Live Object Model (LOM), and build your Live MIDI Tools to design your own creative workflow. A unique springboard to push your creative boundaries and transform Live into a fully customized sonic laboratory.(Version française disponible)

The most important impact of AI on software development isn't that it writes code faster — it's that it changes what you can delegate. Agentic Programming is a practical roadmap for climbing the AI Fluency Ladder: from prompting to agentic workflows, verified execution, and ultimately autonomous software development.

AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

Discover what makes Racket more than just another programming language. Mastering Racket takes you from the fundamentals to macros, concurrency, web development and custom language design through practical, runnable examples.
