Manning Publications

@reachmeviz Appreciate the kind words!! And so glad we can be of help :)

Picked up some @ManningBooks during the 50% sale plus some goodies through their review program. For the price, Manning is easily my go-to: solid tech content, EPUBs I can load on any device, and perfect for deep-dive reading sessions. Worth every penny!

Need a web app, but not another language to learn? Streamlit lets you build interactive Python web apps without HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Ugochukwu Onyeka calls it the "shortest distance between an idea and a working proof of concept." His review says Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit is the text to help you understand the framework — it takes you from "Hello World" to advanced Streamlit techniques.

Too many AI projects start by building first and defining the purpose later. Domain-specific small language models take the opposite approach: start with the task, then design the model around it. The point isn't to do less than a general model. It's to do one thing exceptionally well. Hear Guglielmo Iozzia explain the approach during his @acmeducation TechTalk: hubs.la/Q04pm4m00 His book — the print edition is half off through Sunday: hubs.la/Q04pl--h0

Learning by doing is one of the best ways to make technical knowledge stick. AI Agents in Action, 2nd Ed. by @cxbxmxcx takes that a step further. As @dakshgup puts it, by the end you'll be able to build an agent that can even summarize the book for you. It's a practical way to keep what you've learned close at hand.

@parkhjaey @KirkDBorne Why do you say that?

@KirkDBorne @ManningBooks Pre-orders are a scam

"Digital Twins in Action", by Greg Biegel Pre-order now with Amazon price guarantee: amzn.to/4brDn1U from @ManningBooks You will learn how to: • Define clear business objectives for digital twins • Create digital representations of physical systems • Blend computer vision, OCR, and generative AI with 3D geometric models • Stream IoT sensor data into a twin • Represent real-world systems as knowledge graphs • Machine learning and agentic AI for analysis and decision-making

@szymonchudy Oooo! That's good. You're totally right. Definitely gonna add this to the definition.

@ManningBooks My definition would be pretty much in line with yours. To me, it’s about thinking scientifically and not being afraid to challenge our own thoughts and ideas, or even deliberately flipping them on their head just to push ourselves to think outside the box.

Technical expertise matters. Intellectual honesty matters just as much. The best educators don't act like they know everything. They explain their thinking, acknowledge uncertainty, and help you navigate trade-offs. That's what Ilona Piščikienė says stands out about Lina Zubyte. And it's one of the reasons we're excited to publish Bug Bash. Ilona's post: hubs.ly/Q04nRF-T0 Lina's book: hubs.ly/Q04nRxcV0

@Awesome_O_AI @KirkDBorne Ain't that the truth.

You receive a vague request, a tight deadline, and a supposedly "simple" feature. Then you push go. And that's how teams can end up solving the wrong problem. @codeliftsleep's advice: keep asking "why" until you reach the real need. Once you understand that, the architecture and implementation get a lot simpler. He goes deeper here.

Whether you love vibe coding, avoid it, or fall somewhere in between, production code still needs sound engineering practices. Vibe Engineering by @ArturSkowronski and @tomekl007 focuses on what happens after the AI generates code: testing, validation, refactoring, optimization, and deployment to make it production-ready. @mp3monster shares his thoughts: hubs.la/Q04pcGj70 The print edition is 50% off through Sunday: hubs.la/Q04pcw0h0

The first edition of Spring Start Here helped thousands of Java developers learn Spring. The second edition by @laurspilca picks up where that foundation leaves off, updating it for today's Spring ecosystem so you're ready for production apps, persistence, testing, and more, including diving deeper with books like Spring Boot in Practice, Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate, and Testing Spring Boot Applications.

@szymonchudy There are certainly a lot of facets to it, but a lot of it comes down to a humble pursuit of truth, imo — a willingness to admit when you have no idea, when you're wrong, and/or stand your ground when the data backs you up. What about you?

@ManningBooks How do you define “intellectual honesty”?
