guides
in progressHub for a family of interview-prep guides aimed at data-science, ML-engineering, and AI-engineering readers: a landing page, methodology, and about section, with per-guide companion repos plugged in as subroutes. The architecture keeps each guide independently releasable while sharing one branded shell. The hub is live; AI engineering is the first shipped sub-guide, mounted at /ai-engineering/.
Stack: Astro · MDX · Cloudflare Workers
What's next
AI engineering shipped as the first sub-guide; experimentation is the pilot; further guides on data fundamentals and ML systems follow under the hub.
guides-experimentation (pilot)
in progressThe first companion guide for the hub: a practitioner treatment of experimentation — design, sample-size and power, variance reduction, sequential testing, and decision-making under cost asymmetry. Currently schema plus skeleton; the full chapter build lands in Phase 1.
Stack: Astro · MDX · book-scaffold-astro
What's next
Full multi-chapter MDX build in Phase 1, then deploys under the hub's /experimentation/ subroute.
AI Engineering guide
releasedA four-module guide to building and shipping AI systems: evaluation and benchmarking (decision discipline, calibration, judge-based eval), LLM application engineering (prompting, retrieval, RAG, agents, system design), production AI systems (deployment, latency, cost, observability, drift, guardrails), and working with AI (verification, delegation, and provenance under automation). Built on book-scaffold-astro and shipped as the first sub-guide of the guides hub, with companion mini-libraries.

What's next
Live at guides.brandon-behring.dev/ai-engineering/. Companion mini-libraries (mini_eval, mini_rag, mini_agent, mini_prod) ship alongside; further guides (data fundamentals, ML systems) follow under the hub.
claude-books (family)
in progressA Claude Code / agentic-coding book ecosystem — a monorepo on book-scaffold-astro, deployed as one apex site with per-book subroutes. Live: the Architect's Reference (a self-contained CCA-F study guide, /architect/), Agentic Systems Design (engineering agentic systems, multi-volume, /design/), and the cross-tool 'Agentic Coding: Principles and Practices' book (/agentic-coding/, the 'using coding agents' companion); a Claude-Code-specific Handbook is in progress (served noindex until its v1.0). It supersedes earlier LaTeX drafts (claude-best-practices, claude-code-field-guide).

What's next
Live at claude-books.brandon-behring.dev. Next: finish the Handbook (the 'Use' book) toward v1.0; the cert and design tracks keep deepening.
