New MEAP! Evaluation and Alignment, The Seminal Papers
Building trustworthy AI
It's a fundamental truth that all software—even AI systems—is broken. AI engineers who can diagnose faults and refine systems to align with business needs are in high demand. Evaluation and Alignment, The Seminal Papers expands the foundational research into judging and adapting AI systems into a collection of practical techniques you can use on the job.
As you trace the progression from surface-level text matching, to semantic similarity, to judgment-based evaluation, you'll build the mental models necessary to choose the right metrics, detect
failure modes, and close the loop from evaluation to alignment. You'll employ a "working backwards" methodology that begins with what your system must get right, which directs you to the appropriate evaluation approach. Soon, you'll be making more informed tradeoffs, and expertly balancing helpfulness, safety, and brand voice in your models! [Read more]
3 chapters of this new MEAP are available now with more to follow soon!
Healthcare IT systems are extraordinarily complex, highly regulated, and intensely private. They can also literally be a matter of life or death! Developers specializing in healthcare IT need to understand this unique set of constraints and how they affect application design, development, and deployment. Healthcare IT delivers the skills and domain knowledge you need to become an effective contributor to—or leader of—a healthcare IT team!
In this engaging book, author William Laolagi explores an end-to-end Electronic Health Record (EHR) application. You'll appreciate how he demystifies industry standards like HL7 and FHIR and shows you how to integrate modern approaches like event-driven messaging and AI within regulatory boundaries. As you go, you'll develop the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders using accurate healthcare IT terminology and learn the benefits of differentiating your skill set in this challenging field.

@SpringBootTest, MockMvcTester, SpringExtension, and the rest of the Spring Boot testing toolbox are incredibly powerful weapons—once you learn how to wield them. Testing Spring Boot Applications introduces the testing concepts, techniques, and tools to deliver quality Spring Boot applications every time. You'll move past the "fire and forget" mindset and discover repeatable steps to manage changing dependencies, simplify your workflow, and eliminate ineffective or broken tests.
Inside, author and Spring team member Daniel Garnier-Moiroux helps you build a solid mental
model of what's happening in your Spring Boot test suite. You'll learn how to organize fast, reliable, and predictive testing pipelines, test web applications at the API and browser levels, and reliably validate the configuration, binding logic, and properties of Spring Boot applications. Throughout the book, you'll test and work with an increasingly sophisticated example application, tackling more complex use cases until you're ready to put your new skills into production!

Now in print! Grokking AI Algorithms, Second Edition
How AI solves complex problems
You know you can solve a problem with AI—but how? Which algorithm do you pick and how do you properly implement it? Grokking AI Algorithms, Second Edition makes it simple and easy to understand the most core and common AI approaches. You'll learn how to understand problem types, map real-world tasks to those problems, and how to design and implement the right algorithm—all following clear visual examples, pseudocode, and learning-oriented examples.
most important AI algorithms using relatable illustrations, interesting examples, and thought-provoking exercises. Written in simple language and with lots of visual references and hands-on code examples, it helps you build a natural intuition into how intelligent systems learn, plan, and adapt. This second edition has been thoroughly revised, with new chapters on large language models, image generation, and more. [Read more]
Now in print! Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition
Deploying and managing containers and cloud-native applications
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for deploying containerized distributed applications. This powerful platform acts as an operating system for containers and clusters, reducing the need to micro-manage network and server infrastructure. Used daily by millions of developers, administrators, and architects, Kubernetes is must-know enterprise software.
Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition is the definitive guide to developing and deploying software with Kubernetes. Built on the bestselling first edition, this
end-to-end revision provides up-to-date coverage on structuring Kubernetes-based applications and taking advantage of the Kubernetes API. You'll also discover other key topics like configuration, attaching storage, scaling, and zero-downtime maintenance. [Read more]
discover how to implement evaluation and feedback for agentic systems that are robust, reliable, and debuggable, then delve into how agents are consumed and strategies for deploying them accordingly.
Vanilla Web >> Chapter 8, "Working with templates and slots" >> Discover several techniques for improving performance, developer experience, and the organization of our web component's markup—now that our applications are growing larger and more complex.
Grokking Bayes>> Chapter 9, "Time series and state space models: Evolving a Bayesian belief over time" >> In many cases, that's the question we need to ask instead of only concerning ourselves with the end prediction. That's where time series come in. Learn about state space models and how they formalize learning as inference over evolving unknown variables, make belief trajectories explicit in these sequential models, and observe how our knowledge and uncertainty evolve over time.
