The C programming language | Kernighan, Ritchie | Read | English | - | - | July 26, 2026 | 9.0/10 | Well it is a difficult book. You can definitely buy a paper version at least for solving the exercises at the end of each chapter. It is difficult to read it, but it has good information inside it. I skipped all appendixes because i was bored reading this book. Should read second and third times definitely, but next time solving the exercises too. Should buy a paper variant |

Carte lunge 3500 de pagini. Am citit jumatate de an. Prima carte in romana, am invatat cuvinte noi. Nu e rau, dar a fost cam greu pentru mine. | |
| The Kubernetes Book | - | Read | English | - | - | March 30, 2026 | 8.0/10 | edition 2025. Well good for the the start. 8 out of 10. I did Anki cards. Much better with Anki cards. Good as first book but of course not enough. Book for beginners like me. | |
| Domain driven Design | Eric Evans | Read | English | - | - | March 8, 2026 | 7.0/10 | Well first book in 2026. Big one, very slow, not worth reading it. Not much ideas left in my head. Not recommending. 6.5 out ot 10. Easily changing context in the book, poor quality of the book and difficult to grasp ideas. | |
| Forward to Foundation | Isaac Asimov | Read | - | - | - | Dec. 17, 2025 | 9.0/10 | Well this is second volume. It made much more sense than first book. It was interesting, especially second part. Definitely recommend and should continue with other volumes later | |
| Modern C++ design | Alexandrescu | Read | - | - | - | Dec. 1, 2025 | 3.0/10 | 2001. Well have read only 23%. Useless for me now. Extremely difficult to read and no effect. Just decided to abandon it. I better read smth else. Maybe I can return to it in future. Not sure. | |
| Quick Start Qubernetes | Nigel Poulton | Read | - | - | - | Nov. 23, 2025 | 9.0/10 | Well this is the first book I have bought by myselft from Amazon for 12 bucks.

| Generative AI apps with Langchain and Python | Rabi Jay | Read | - | - | - | Oct. 6, 2025 | 8.0/10 | Well 8 out of 10. Good parts: had questions after each chapter. Really did some simple examples from begining of the book. Had some practice. Bad part: book is already outdated as comes from 2024 and there are Langchain versions like 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 No stable version yet. Langchain API is changing fast. Ideally should do some tutorials directly from Langchain site. | |
| Generative AI solutions on Google Cloud | Arun Pandey | Read | - | - | - | Sept. 1, 2025 | 7.0/10 | 7 out of 10 for me. Probably I need books for novice and step by step actions and exercises.

| Ai agent in Action | Micheal Langham | Read | - | - | - | Aug. 7, 2025 | 8.0/10 | Well you need to spend money to complete exercises and VS code and Windows is used. 7 or maybe 8 out of 10. Maybe should try the book one more time. No ideas what AI agent to build right now and how to build it, and this is bad. Should continue with AI topic overall. | |
| AI Engineering | Chip Huyen | Read | - | - | - | July 14, 2025 | 6.0/10 | 5 or 6 out of 10. Read 6 chapters out of 10 or more than 60%.

| Functional Programming in C++ | Ivan Cukic | Read | - | - | - | June 13, 2025 | 8.0/10 | Well 8 out of 10. I did not understand a lot. Perspective field for learning.
