New MEAP! Agent Design Patterns
Agent Design Patterns distills the experience of a growing community of AI agent builders into 20+ composable, reusable patterns for building AI agents that are reliable, efficient, controllable, and easy to reason about. In this uniquely-valuable book, author and NVIDIA Research scientist Peter Belcak gives you a durable engineering vocabulary and design intuition that outlasts any new model release.
Each pattern included here is production-tested, and designed to click together as you construct transparent, testable, deployment-ready agentic applications. You’ll really appreciate the familiar
presentation style, with a simple template of a named problem, a clear solution, benefits, drawbacks, popular variants, and rules for composition with other patterns![Read more]

Classic algorithm textbooks are well-known for encyclopedic depth, mathematical rigor, and extensive use of pseudocode to explain complex algorithms. Or, put plainly, they can be dense, boring, and hard to understand. Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know takes a more human approach. This highly-approachable book drops you straight into a realistic reading group, letting you listen in as three interested individuals argue, question, and reason their way through some of the most important algorithms in computer science.
Each chapter tackles one algorithm from the
ground up. You’ll build your intuition through relatable analogies and back-and-forth discussion, then see the idea applied to real-world systems like routing, scheduling, string search, caching, and optimization. Once you’ve built your mental models, you’ll implement each algorithm in Python. Seeing your algorithms in action ensures you understand both how an algorithm works, and why and when to reach for each one. [Read more]
