Piter Publishing’s Sale on the Last Weekend of Summer (Category Sales)
Piter Publishing is running another sale, with 35% off print books and 50% off ebooks. Use the promo code “Бумажная” at checkout for print books, or “Электронная” for ebooks. I already bought a stack of books in the previous sales. This time, these caught my eye; I bought the last three for my collection:
- The Engineering Executive’s Primer, published in Russian as “CTO: Effective Technical Leadership”. The original title is The Engineering Executive’s Primer, which I would translate as “a CTO’s primer” :) I thoroughly enjoyed reading it a year ago and would recommend it to any engineering leader.
- Software Developer: A Career Guide for Future Seniors, Tech Leads, and Staff Engineers. As I mentioned earlier, I have this book and am gradually working through it. My impressions so far are excellent.
- Scalable Data: High-Load Architectures, Data Mesh and Data Fabric, 2nd edition. In this age of GenAI applications, I am particularly interested in approaches to building data platforms. My colleague Sergey Mikhalev and I discussed a related topic in an episode of my Code of Leadership podcast.
- Causal Inference in Python: Cause and Effect in IT Development. I am deeply involved in developing our A/B testing platform and designing some surveys, including ones in the style of DORA, so I have been reading a lot about statistics lately. Another book on the subject will be useful.
- Design and User Behavior: Applying Psychology and Behavioral Economics in Development and UX. This continues the theme of planning research and experiments, but now within a product.
