Advanced Agents From First Principles
Engineer autonomous systems for production.
Evidence, distributed execution, reliability, authority, durable workflows, replay, security, verification and explicit control planes.
Programmer.ie books turn the learning paths into complete technical products: read them on the web now, with ebook, print-ready and video formats following from the same source.
The books are the primary publishing units of Programmer.ie. Every book is also available as a structured web learning path, with related solutions and AI-assisted repository diagnostics built around the same material.
Engineer autonomous systems for production.
Evidence, distributed execution, reliability, authority, durable workflows, replay, security, verification and explicit control planes.
Turn models into systems that act.
Planning, structured actions, tools, state, memory, search, revision and external verification assembled into a working agent architecture.
Understand why each learned component exists.
Scorers, value functions, policies, hierarchical state, recursive compute and model selection through explicit architectural decomposition.
Build the machinery before the abstractions.
Tensors, autograd, neural networks, data pipelines, attention, training diagnostics and a small language model from first principles.
The web chapters remain freely readable. The same canonical material is compiled into book editions, connected to problem-first solutions and AI diagnostics, and later becomes video. The product grows without splitting the source of truth.
