Deciphering Object-Oriented Programming with C++
This book covers the animation of 3D game characters, taking a closer look at the principles of character components and animation. After explaining the theoretical elements of animation, we will provide an example implementation that will guide you from the conceptual stage to the real-world usage in an application. With this knowledge, you will be able to implement a similar animation system, regardless of the programming language or rendering API.

Streaming Databases
This book provides an excellent entry point for learning about all these cutting-edge innovations and the zoo of options, which is typical for the early days of a new era. If you want to learn even more about streaming databases, check out Hubert and Ralph’s podcast on Spotify, simply called “Hubert’s Podcast.” They interviewed many different people in the streaming and data space in preparation for this book, and it’s a gem by itself.

The art of 64-bit assembly
This book wouldn’t have been possible without my wife, Günyüz. She’s carried every-thing on her shoulders while I’ve been busy writing. Thank you, babe. I love you. Thanks go to Andrew Waldron, who kick-started my passion for authoring this book. This has been a phenomenal experience. Andy has always been tolerant and understanding, even when I accused him of secretly sneaking into my home and changing the book’s text. I owe you a drink, Andy.

Applied Combinatorics
This book arose from our feeling that a text that met our approach to Applied Com-binatorics was not available. Because of the diverse set of instructors assigned to the course, the standard text was one that covered every topic imaginable (and then some), but provided little depth. We’ve taken a different approach, attacking the central sub-jects of the course description to provide exposure, but taking the time to go into greater depth in select areas to give the students a better feel for how combinatorics works.

Deep Reinforcement Learning in Unity
The book starts with an introduction to state-based reinforcement learning, from Markov processes to Bellman equations and Q-learning, which sets the ground for the successive sections. A plethora of diverse pathfinding algorithms, from Dijkstra to sophisticated variants of A* star, have been provided along with simulations in Unity. The book also covers how navigation meshes work for automated pathfinding in Unity. An introduction to the ML Agents Toolkit, from standard process for installation to training an AI agent with deep reinforcement learning algorithm (proximal policy operation [PPO]) is provided as a starter. Along the course of this book, there is an extensive usage of the Tensorflow framework along with OpenAI Gym environments for proper visualizations of complex deep reinforcement learning algorithms in terms of simulations, robotics, and autonomous agents. Successive sections of the book involve an in-depth study of the variety of on- and off-policy algorithms, ranging from discrete SARSA/Q-learning to actor critic variants, deep Q-network variants, PPO, and their implementations using the Keras Tensorflow framework on Gym. These sections are instrumental in understanding how different simulations such as the famous Puppo (Unity Berlin), Tiny agents, and other ML Agents samples from Unity are created and built. Sections with detailed descriptions about how to build simulations in Unity using the C# software development kit for ML Agents and training them using soft actor critic (SAC), PPO, or behavioral cloning algorithms such as GAIL are provided.

Re-Engineering Legacy Software
This book would not have been possible without the support of many people. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a lot of highly skilled developers over the years who have indirectly contributed countless ideas to this book.

Software Telemetry
This book is about improving what you already have, because every software ecosystem has at least some telemetry at its core. Whether you’re working on a planet-scale.Software as a Service (SaaS) application that deploys to wider percentages of your global data centers as part of your canary deploy process, or a time-card entry system for your city government that you update every couple of months, you’re using telemetry.This book is both for companies in which software is the business and organizations in which software merely enables the mission

The Art of Designing Embedded Systems
This book comes from seeing how we all share the same problems while not finding solutions. Never forget that engineering is about solving problems . . . including the ones that plague the way we engineer! Engineering is the process of making choices; make sure yours reflect simplicity, common sense, and a structure with growth, elegance, and flexibility, with debugging opportunities built in.
