Each chapter presents a stand-alone set of techniques to help you work more efficiently, understand your system better, and tailor your environment to your individual workflow. This book doesn't ask you to totally change the way you work or drop your current tooling. Instead, it brings together a set of skills that you can add to your toolkit and incorporate as you like. The author focuses on the essentials that allow you to immediately apply the new skill rather than describing every possible feature. The goal is for you to be able to pick up the book, read a chapter over coffee, and try out what you've learned right away.
Object-Based Programming with Go
This textbook explains the concept of "object-based programming" as an essential part of "object orientation" and elucidates why the programming language Go, developed at Google, optimally supports this concept.

Clean Architecture
Clean Architecture emphasizes building systems that remain adaptable, testable, and maintainable over time by clearly separating core business logic from implementation details. This book provides a comprehensive guide to applying those principles, illustrating how to structure software so that critical rules and processes stay independent of databases, user interfaces, or external libraries. At the heart of the approach is the drive to keep domain rules in a dedicated layer-ensuring that when requirements shift or technologies evolve, teams can replace frameworks, databases, or APIs without rewriting critical functionality.The discussion covers fundamental design patterns that minimize coupling and encourage cohesive modules, showing developers how to isolate concerns while integrating real-world processes such as continuous deployment and modern cloud services. It addresses situations ranging from microservices to more monolithic structures, presenting best practices for both greenfield and legacy scenarios. Readers will learn to adopt abstractions that safeguard domain logic against accidental contamination by external tools, keeping each segment of the codebase focused on a single responsibility.By drawing insights from multiple industries and coding paradigms, the book demonstrates how Clean Architecture can strengthen collaboration, reduce regressions, and streamline feature delivery. It stresses the importance of dedicated testing at each layer, ensuring reliable and confident releases. Ultimately, the techniques described equip software professionals with a robust framework for designing applications that withstand evolving business needs-allowing teams to innovate quickly while preserving a codebase that remains clear, structured, and primed for ongoing growth.

Software Design Decoded
An engaging, illustrated collection of insights revealing the practices and principles that expert software designers use to create great software. What makes an expert software designer? It is more than experience or innate ability. Expert software designers have specific habits, learned practices, and observed principles that they apply deliberately during their design work. This book offers sixty-six insights, distilled from years of studying experts at work, that capture what successful software designers actually do to create great software. The book presents these insights in a series of two-page illustrated spreads, with the principle and a short explanatory text on one page, and a drawing on the facing page. For example, "Experts generate alternatives" is illustrated by the same few balloons turned into a set of very different balloon animals. The text is engaging and accessible; the drawings are thought-provoking and often playful. Organized into such categories as "Experts reflect," "Experts are not afraid," and "Experts break the rules," the insights range from "Experts prefer simple solutions" to "Experts see error as opportunity." Readers learn that "Experts involve the user"; "Experts take inspiration from wherever they can"; "Experts design throughout the creation of software"; and "Experts draw the problem as much as they draw the solution." One habit for an aspiring expert software designer to develop would be to read and reread this entertaining but essential little book. The insights described offer a guide for the novice or a reference for the veteran--in software design or any design profession. A companion web site provides an annotated bibliography that compiles key underpinning literature, the opportunity to suggest additional insights, and more.
