I n 1967, Jim Purtell left his small Midwestern town to join the U.S. Army. He did so at a time when the country was pro-Vietnam and serving seemed an honorable thing to do. Little did he know that the tide would turn a mere six months later as drastically as it did.

Vibe Coding for Data Analysts: Using Natural Language Prompts to Build Custom Automation and Rapid Prototyping Tools
English | October 7, 2026 | ASIN: B0HM6PRWK4 | 328 pages | Epub | 3.02 MB
Are you a data analyst who spends more time cleaning spreadsheets, fixing repetitive reports, and wrestling with annoying data tasks than actually analyzing data?What if you could simply describe what you want in plain English and turn that idea into a working automation, prototype, or custom analytical tool?Welcome to vibe coding.In Vibe Coding for Data Analysts, Joren Thalvik takes a practical, humorous, and refreshingly approachable look at how data analysts can use natural language prompts and AI-assisted development to build useful tools without first becoming professional software engineers.This book is not about memorizing endless lines of code or surviving another programming tutorial that makes you question every career decision you've ever made. It's about learning how to think, communicate, experiment, test, and build with AI.Inside, you'll discover how to:• Turn everyday business problems into clear, effective natural language prompts• Automate repetitive data analysis and reporting tasks• Clean, transform, validate, and prepare messy datasets• Work more efficiently with spreadsheets and structured data• Rapidly prototype custom analytical tools• Build calculators, utilities, dashboards, and other analyst-focused applications• Create automated reports and data visualization workflows• Develop personal productivity tools for everyday analyst work• Connect data sources and design multi-step automation workflows• Debug and improve AI-generated solutions when things inevitably go sideways• Test, document, maintain, and improve your vibe-coded tools• Combine human analytical judgment with AI-powered automationMore importantly, you'll learn a new way of approaching technical problems.Instead of starting with, "What programming language do I need to learn?", you'll start with, "What problem am I trying to solve?"That small shift can change everything.Throughout the book, I focus on practical thinking rather than programming perfection. You'll learn how to break big ideas into manageable steps, communicate requirements clearly, iterate with AI, spot mistakes, and turn rough ideas into useful working prototypes.You'll also learn an important lesson: AI-generated code isn't magic. Sometimes it will misunderstand you. Sometimes it will confidently produce something that makes absolutely no sense. And occasionally, it will give you code that looks impressive until you actually try to use it.That's why this book puts just as much emphasis on validation, debugging, testing, security, and human judgment as it does on building.Whether you're a beginner curious about AI-assisted development, an experienced data analyst looking to automate repetitive work, or a business professional who wants to build small custom tools without waiting six months for an engineering team, this book gives you a practical starting point.You don't need to become a software engineer.You need to become better at describing problems, asking better questions, experimenting intelligently, and knowing whether the result actually works.The goal isn't to replace your analytical skills with AI.It's to give those skills a turbocharger.If you're ready to spend less time doing repetitive work and more time solving interesting problems, Vibe Coding for Data Analysts will show you how to get started.

You don't need to know how to code. You need to know how to ask, check and improve.AI assistants can write working code from a plain-English description. The hard part is everything around it: knowing what to ask for, reading what comes back, testing it, fixing it when it breaks, and turning a rough first result into something you'd be proud to share. Vibe Coding for Beginners teaches exactly that, one real project at a time.This is a full-color, hands-on course for complete beginners. You describe what you want, the AI writes the code, and you stay in charge of everything else: the idea, the checking and the decisions.Build 9 real projectsDinner Decider: your first working pageA personal website: HTML, CSS, pictures, and putting it onlineSprout: a landing page with a clear visual hierarchyToday: a to-do app that remembers your tasksOrbit: a space quiz game with a score and clear feedbackPocket Budget: a money tracker with forms, totals and spending barsWeather Now: live forecasts from a real weather APIMeteor Dodge: an arcade game you can also play on a phoneHabit Streaks: a final project you plan and build yourselfA method you can use on any projectThe Build Loop: Idea, Prompt, Code, Test, Fix, Improve, ShipThe Prompt Formula: role, goal, context, requirements, constraints and output, so the AI builds what you picturedSlices: break a big idea into small steps you can test one at a timeThe Bug Report Prompt: turn an error message into a fix, practiced on 8 real debugging casesThe Ten Steps: from a one-sentence idea to a link you can shareReal, not pretendEvery project in this book was built and tested.

Vibe Coding Without Getting Hurt: Build Apps and Software with AI Without Writing Code: Think, Build, Test, Launch
English | October 8, 2026 | ASIN: B0HMDMRQKV | 84 pages | Epub | 406.86 KB
Today, you can build software by talking. But you have to know what to say.On January 31, 2026, a young guy discovered that the database of his app, built with AI in a few days and holding thousands of users, was open to anyone. Two unchecked checkboxes. This book exists because of those two checkboxes.Vibe coding is real: anyone can describe an app and watch it come to life in an afternoon, without ever having written a line of code. But the promise brings three traps with it: speed, houses of cards, open doors. To dodge them you need the one thing AI will not hand you: a method.In these pages you learn to think like someone who builds software, without becoming a programmer: the floor plan before the code, a work cycle that never loses the thread, the two-minute test that tells you whether your data is really protected, and a launch you will be proud of. With two true step-by-step stories, Sara and Elena, tested on real tools (Lovable, Claude and the like).If you have an idea and zero code, this book was written for you: so you can build it without getting hurt.With a foreword by Luigi Laura.Thirty years of software, three companies founded and sold: this is what I wish I could have read the day I started building with AI.Marco Reds

Vector Databases in Depth: Index structures, quantization, hybrid retrieval, and multi-tenant operations at scale.
English | September 20, 2026 | ASIN: B0HKTT2T1M | 214 pages | EPUB (True) | 350.78 KB
Vector Databases in Depth is a practical engineering guide to the data layer that makes semantic search, recommendation, and retrieval-augmented generation practical. It starts from a single observation: vector search is a systems problem, not a library call, and the difference between a prototype and a production system is measured in the same units as any other distributed system - recall, latency, cost, isolation, and operational discipline.The book walks through the full stack - why vector search matters and where it fits, embeddings as a data type and the decisions that shape them, similarity metrics and the normalisation practices that make them interchangeable, approximate nearest-neighbour search and the recall-speed trade-off, HNSW in detail with its parameters and tuning workflows, IVF-PQ and disk-based indexes for corpora that exceed memory, quantization from int8 to binary and the rescoring patterns that recover lost recall, metadata filtering that participates in the index traversal, hybrid retrieval that fuses dense and sparse results, re-ranking and multi-stage pipelines, horizontal scaling with sharding and replication, multi-tenancy with enforced filter isolation, operations, monitoring and cost engineering, and the trends reshaping the field.It covers the failure modes that quietly wreck vector search: an embedding upgrade that invalidates every cached vector, a filter applied after retrieval that excludes the top-k, a shard that becomes hot because the tenant hashing function is not uniform, a quantization step that reduces recall by twenty points without any metric catching it, a re-ranker that adds three seconds of latency, an index that fits at build time and does not fit at query time, a multi-tenant query that leaks vectors across tenants. Each is presented with the failure, the countermeasure, and the operational tradeoff.
