Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Building software with a language model is fundamentally different from chatting with one through a consumer interface.Building AI Applications with the Claude API provides a practical introduction to integrating language intelligence into software, services, tools, and digital products.You will learn what an AI API actually does, how messages and roles work, how tokens and context windows affect application behavior, how to create and protect API credentials, and how to structure a project around an SDK or direct HTTP requests.The book then moves into the building blocks of useful AI applications. You will learn how to design system prompts, use examples, create tools, handle function calling, stream responses, request structured output, process documents and images, and combine multiple steps into a complete application feature.The final section addresses production engineering: AI-specific failure modes, validation, guardrails, model selection, token costs, latency, caching, scaling, security, privacy, and responsible deployment.For backend developers, full-stack developers, technical founders, software engineers, and builders integrating language models into applications, this book provides a practical bridge between API experimentation and production software.It focuses on the engineering decisions that matter after the first successful request-how to make the integration reliable, maintainable, cost-aware, secure, and useful to real users. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - AI can generate code quickly. Becoming a better developer requires knowing what to build, how to verify it, and why the resulting code works.Becoming a Better Developer with Claude presents a practical way to use AI throughout the modern software development lifecycle without becoming dependent on generated answers.You will learn how to prepare a clean project, give an AI coding assistant the context it needs, write clearer instructions, plan complex changes, evaluate design choices, and break large tasks into small, reviewable steps.The book then moves into everyday engineering work: writing code, debugging, reproducing failures, tracing root causes, creating tests, reviewing changes, writing documentation, deploying software, and maintaining existing codebases.A major theme is verification. A plausible AI-generated answer is not the same thing as a verified engineering solution. You will learn how to turn vague symptoms into reproducible failures, connect fixes to evidence, add tests that prove behavior, and review generated changes before they become part of a real system.The goal is not to make you a faster copier of AI-generated code. It is to help you become a sharper developer with an AI coding partner that handles mechanical work while you retain engineering judgment.For programmers, software engineers, technical leads, and developers adopting AI-assisted coding, this book provides a practical framework for working faster without weakening the habits that make software reliable.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Taking a generative AI application from a promising prototype to a reliable, enterprise-wide system takes a lot more than good prompting - it takes real architectural discipline. This book brings together advanced retrieval strategies, cost optimization, and behavioral control into one complete framework for context engineering done right.At its core, the book tackles the central challenge every serious AI deployment faces: feeding models the external, proprietary data they need without overwhelming their attention or blowing through your API budget. You'll get a full walkthrough of Anthropic's prompt caching system - structuring conversations so identical system prompts and tool definitions sit at the front, unlocking up to 90% cost savings and 85% faster response times on every call - along with strategies for managing cache state across long, multi-turn conversations.Beyond efficiency, there's a strong focus on accuracy. The book lays out a rigorous approach to Retrieval-Augmented Generation, covering contextual chunking, contextual embeddings, and semantic reranking to cut retrieval failures by nearly half and meaningfully reduce hallucinations caused by missing context. The throughline is treating context engineering as a genuine architectural discipline, not an afterthought - so your applications can reason accurately over massive datasets without falling apart at scale.This is essential reading for AI product managers, senior software engineers, and technical founders serious about scaling generative applications the right way.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing how AI applications connect to tools, data, services, and external systems. But understanding MCP in theory is very different from building an MCP server that is secure, testable, reliable, and ready for production.Professional MCP Development with Claude AI is a practical guide to building MCP servers, MCP clients, AI tools, resources, prompts, and enterprise integrations for modern AI applications.Starting with the foundations of the Model Context Protocol, you will learn the MCP client-host-server architecture, tools, resources, prompts, transports, capabilities, sessions, JSON-RPC communication, versioning, roots, and elicitation. The book explains how these pieces fit together and why a standardized protocol can replace large amounts of custom AI integration code.You will then build a production-ready MCP server from scratch. Learn how to structure an MCP project, work with the official Python and TypeScript SDKs, validate inputs, handle configuration and secrets, use the MCP Inspector, document your server, manage versioning, handle external API failures, and decide when one MCP server should become several.The book also explores MCP tools and tool calling, including tool descriptions, schemas, return values, idempotency, safe retries, REST API integrations, resources, reusable prompts, large results, subscriptions, prompt arguments, and robust MCP clients.The production chapters address MCP security, authentication, authorization, prompt injection, least privilege, supply-chain risk, secrets management, auditing, compliance logging, data minimization, human approval, testing, observability, deployment, scaling, cost control, and incident response.Whether you are learning MCP for the first time or preparing to deploy MCP servers across an enterprise, this book gives you a practical path from understanding the protocol to building reliable integrations that AI applications can actually use.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - AI assistants answer questions. Autonomous AI agents are designed to pursue goals, make decisions, use tools, observe results, and continue working across multiple steps.Building Autonomous AI Agents with Claude AI is a practical guide to designing, building, evaluating, and operating AI agents that can perform complex tasks with controlled autonomy.You will begin by learning what actually makes a system an AI agent, how agents differ from chatbots and ordinary API calls, and when an agent is genuinely necessary. The book introduces the autonomy spectrum and shows how to choose an appropriate level of independence based on risk, reversibility, and the cost of human review.You will then learn the reason-act-observe loop behind autonomous agents. The book explains how agents decide what to do, call tools, receive results, continue or stop, and handle failures. You will learn how to design purpose-built tools, create reliable schemas, use the Model Context Protocol, and test tools before allowing an agent to operate with them.The next stage covers AI agent orchestration and complex multi-step tasks. Learn how to break goals into executable steps, delegate work to sub-agents, choose between plan-then-execute and interleaved planning, manage persistent state, distinguish memory from context, prevent state drift, resume long-running tasks, and handle failures without creating worse outcomes.The book then focuses on AI agent safety and production engineering: permissions, least privilege, approval gates, sandboxing, human-in-the-loop controls, audit logs, evaluation datasets, regression testing, human baselines, observability, cost management, latency, incremental deployment, model upgrades, and behavioral drift.This book is written for developers, AI engineers, software architects, technical founders, and builders who want to move beyond simple prompts and create autonomous AI agents capable of performing real multi-step work.The goal is not maximum autonomy.The goal is useful autonomy that can be understood, evaluated, controlled, and trusted. …
