Summer Sale at Piter Publishing (Category Sales)

Piter Publishing is running another sale, with 35% off print books and 50% off ebooks. To get the discount, enter the promo code “Бумажная” at checkout, or “Электронная” for an ebook. I bought a stack of books in previous sales and have read a substantial share of them, including:

• Data Mesh in Action. I’ve read this since the last sale and have already written about it. Before that, I read parts of Data Mesh: Delivering Data-Driven Value at Scale.
• Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms. I read this recently; here is my post about it.
• The Real CTO: Think Like a Chief Technology Officer. I read it, wrote about it, and then Sasha Shevchenko and I recorded a podcast episode discussing it.
• Grokking Continuous Delivery. An interesting, accessible book about CI/CD by a Google employee. I’ve already read it and written about it.
• API Design Patterns. I started reading it and discussed it. I also read the author’s whitepapers on API governance at Google; a short note on those is here.
• Python Tricks: Programming Details for Professionals. I decided to refresh my Python theory.
• Computer Networks: Principles, Technologies, Protocols — Revised and Expanded Anniversary Edition. I read the Olifers’ book many years ago and thought it was fine. I’m now 150 pages into the new edition and can say it hasn’t got worse :)
• Game Design: How Games Are Made. I’d already read and written plenty about game design (1, 2, 3). Now I’ve read this book too and written about it.
• Developing Applications with GPT-4 and ChatGPT. An introductory book about ChatGPT that I’ve already read and discussed.
• The Mythical Man-Month. Frederick Brooks’s classic celebrates an anniversary next year. I’ve written about it before.
• Distributed Data: Algorithms Behind Modern Storage Systems. Alex Petrov’s book was called Database Internals ~~in its maiden days~~ in English. I’ve written about it at length (1 and 2), and we discussed it on the Code of Architecture podcast.
• Building Secure and Reliable Systems: Best Practices for Design, Implementation and Maintenance at Google. I read this in the original English as Building Secure and Reliable Systems and have already written about it.
• Head First Software Architecture. A simple introduction to design and architecture for beginners; I’ve already discussed it.
• Acing the System Design Interview. A good book on system design interviews. I’ve covered it in two posts: 1 and 2.
• The Creative Programmer. I decided to explore creative methods that might help solve engineering problems.

Piter’s sales generally come around every quarter, so I usually wait for them and then buy the books I’ve had my eye on—sometimes by the stack :)
