Beginning Game Programming with Go
A hands-on, project-based guide to 2D game development in Go
Build a game from scratch in Go, no engine magic, just code you understand. You'll create Gopher Survivor, a Vampire Survivors–style action game, one concept per chapter: enemies, weapons, XP and level-ups, particles, a state machine, and a build you can ship.
A best-selling book. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. Thirty-one chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, permissions, multi-agent orchestration, evals, observability, and cost engineering.

You’ll just need the Five Essential Elements of Learning Through five essential elements, you’ll gain the ability to learn anything deeply—no matter how complex the subject. These five pillars of effective learning will become lifelong tools, guiding you every time you set out to truly master new knowledge and retain it permanently. If you're ready to stop passively consuming information and start truly mastering it, this book is for you.
Prepare for senior Go interviews, or for the jump from mid-level to senior, with a focus on AI platform engineering: LLM gateways, RAG, vector search, Kubernetes, observability, concurrency ownership, and production failure modes. Includes interview questions, senior-level answer rubrics, executable Go examples, and a production-oriented RAG service capstone you can run, test, break, and explain.

Input Chinese characters easily, even if you don't know their pronunciation.
AI can generate code faster than ever. But speed is no longer the hardest part of software development.The real challenge is building systems where generated code remains correct, controlled, and aligned with architectural intent. Becoming a Harness-Driven Developer introduces a new development model for the age of AI-assisted engineering - one where developers focus less on writing every line by hand and more on defining the rules, structure, and enforcement mechanisms within which AI code agents operate.Through a practical repository mapped directly to the book’s chapters, this book shows how to move from ad hoc coding to a harness-driven approach based on specification, architecture, invariants, controlled execution, and system evolution. This is a book about staying in control while software development changes.
Graphics Pipeline Design and Hardware ImplementationModern GPUs are the most complex and efficient parallel processors ever created—and this book shows you exactly how they work at the hardware level.Unlike typical graphics or programming guides, this volume takes you inside the GPU itself: how instructions flow through pipelines, how memory hierarchies sustain bandwidth, how shader cores and fixed-function units cooperate to render billions of pixels per second.
The value of a SaaS business is more than code and revenue. Domains, service accounts, social profiles, and infrastructure ownership matter too. A competitor claiming your brand on X is bad, but a malicious npm scope using your brand to ship harmful code to customers is far worse.
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.

The Leanpub Podcast
The Leanpub Podcast 🎙 Feat. Russ Miles, Author of The Sovereign Engineer
Russ Miles - Len Epp interviews Russ Miles, author of The Sovereign Engineer, about how software professionals can thrive in the age of AI. Russ argues that AI magnifies both good and bad engineering practices, introducing concepts such as habitat engineering, AI literacy, and sovereign engineering. They explore LLMs, agentic development, architecture, TDD, feedback loops, and why human judgment, curiosity, and systems thinking remain essential as AI transforms software development.

As an academic, I like Leanpub because it lets me write and get my ideas out there quickly. Leanpub is simply the best place for publishing my books.
Leanpub's book-creation tools allowed me to focus on creating the types of books I wanted to write instead of worrying how to create my own book publishing toolchain. I have never regretted using Leanpub to publish my ebooks.
Leanpub takes the pain out of publishing. They provide the tools, you provide the books and then magic happens.
I love using Leanpub because I can write my book using simple Markdown notation. Leanpub let's me focus on my content and they handle the rest.
Leanpub is a game changer for independent authors, removing the hassles associated with formatting, book production, and electronic sales, freeing up the time to do what we do best: write.
Leanpub helped me achieve my goal of publishing a book. Its simple, easy to use interface got my book up and making money within weeks, I love Leanpub!
Leanpub helped me gauge interest in my book, get payments early on when it was only a few chapters, and has got me a bunch of sales just from people browsing around the site.
Leanpub helps me see my books as I write them. Even better, I can find readers early, to read my books and offer suggestions. I can pivot, if I see the need.
Leanpub made it simple for me to run with my book idea and build my reputation in the Ruby community. I went from first draft to first sale in days, not months or years.
Four years ago, I joined Leanpub to just give it a try. Today, over 28,000 book sales later, I cannot help but say that I'm the biggest Leanpub fan on this planet!
Leanpub makes publishing your own book super easy. The fact that you can release updates continually helps with the mindset of getting a minimum version out ASAP and then iterating to improve.
I earn more royalties from my books on Leanpub than I do with well established publishers or through Amazon (which I publish on thanks to Leanpub's mobi conversion).
Leanpub allows me focus on content, takes care everything else and offers an amazing author royalty. It’s a fantastic platform for writing and publishing books.
I love that Leanpub makes writing and publishing a beautiful book so simple. I no longer spin my wheels with layouts and formats - Leanpub gets out of the way when it's time to write, and then automates everything when it's time to publish.
With Leanpub, the first person who purchased my book for $9.99 almost two years ago (and only received a preface, and two short intro chapters) has had access to almost every bit of knowledge I've gained in those two years, and *that's* the value.
Simple and lean, forces me to focus on writing and marketing, and pays excellent royalties.
Leanpub forces you to focus on writing and gives you immediate feedback. Allowing Leanpub to take care of the curation and delivery helped me focus on shipping my book.
While most eBook exporter apps today can generate PDF files and many support ePub, there's one tool we recommend above all after trying 8 of the most popular: Leanpub.
