Manning Publications @manning.com · 23hThere's rarely a perfect answer in software architecture. You make a choice, live with the tradeoffs, learn something, and eventually have to make another choice. Software Architecture Decision-Making is a new MEAP about navigating those decisions with a little more intention. 110
Manning Publications @manning.com · 28/09/2026Interesting thread if you want a peek into how things work "behind the scenes" here at Manning ↓ 030

Manning Publications @manning.com · 25/09/2026A good example of a restructuring is Build an Advanced RAG Application (From Scratch) by Hamza Farooq. It started out as Build a Large Language Model Application (From Scratch). Through writing, feedback, and such, we found the new title and approach was much more appropriate. 110
Manning Publications @manning.com · 25/09/2026Yup! We change titles often. We find that there are times that we think the tech is obvious from a title and then readers have no idea what we're talking about, so we have no choice but to change it up. 110
Manning Publications @manning.com · 24/09/2026A good example is our Zig book. While implementing MEAP edits and such, a new version of Zig was released. So, if we published it right away, it'd be out of date. But, because of MEAP, it'll be published with the newest version. 210
Manning Publications @manning.com · 24/09/2026Yeah, nothing quite like a physical book. We may be a bit biased, but MEAP is kinda the best of both worlds. You get the new tech fast. Kinda like a blog'll give you. But you still get a physical book. 101
Manning Publications @manning.com · 23/09/2026There's a certain kind of satisfaction in realizing something that looked way too complicated is actually something you can play with. Grokking Parallel Programming starts small, builds up to CUDA, & lets you practice in the browser without a GPU. Half off through tomorrow: hubs.la/Q04y8Cm50 010
Manning Publications @manning.com · 22/09/2026Another great Manning author: @denodell.bsky.social. His book, Fast by Default, is all about being proactive and working with performance in mind from the get-go. That way, you have more time to build the stuff your users will love. The book: hubs.la/Q04y54-p0 030
Manning Publications @manning.com · 18/09/2026Ever wonder how a recommendation system decides what to put in front of you? There's a lot more going on than "you liked X, so here's Y." Data, ranking, cold starts, evaluation, and now LLMs, RAG, and agents all play a role. AI Recommender Systems teaches you the ins and outs: hubs.la/Q04xQnv20 010

Manning Publications @manning.com · 14/09/2026There's a difference between knowing what state you want your software in and deciding when a build is ready to get there. That's what Kargo handles: promoting software through environments alongside Argo CD. Kargo in Action is our new MEAP, written by the @akuity.io engineers who built Kargo. 111
Reposted by Manning PublicationsAkuity @akuity.io · 11/09/2026Your promotion process may be scattered across CI jobs, scripts, PRs, and manual approvals. 🙋 See how Kargo brings promotion, verification, governance, and audit history into one control plane: buff.ly/6cHY7DZ #Kargo #GitOps 112
Manning Publications @manning.com · 10/09/2026At this the point, people independently discover the same problems when they build agents. It might be time to start naming those patterns. Because shared language makes it easier for people to learn from each other. Agent Design Patterns starts that conversation. Learn more: hubs.la/Q04xbQ_20 000

Manning Publications @manning.com · 28/08/2026It's painful knowing your ML code works but not knowing why it's slow. You can stay at the PyTorch level. But, eventually, you may need to understand what the GPU is doing. That's where Triton comes in. GPU Programming with Triton takes you from GPU kernel fundamentals to modern LLM techniques. 121

Manning Publications @manning.com · 15/08/2026LLMs are impressive. But, there are tradeoffs. If you need precision, consistency, or domain expertise, being impressive may not be important. When your priorities are the former, Building Specialized AI Systems can teach you how to adapt pretrained language models. Get it here: hubs.la/Q04t6-Cg0 010
Manning Publications @manning.com · 12/08/2026For "normal" books, within a couple of weeks. If there are a lot of pre-orders, it can take longer. For that book in particular, you'll likely in the expected timeframe since you bought it while in MEAP status. 000
