No Starch Press Sale March 13 - 17

No Starch Press is running a Pi Day sale: 31.4% off from March 13–17. Not a sponsored post, just genuinely one of my favorite tech publishers. They've been putting out quality books on security, Linux, programming, and maker stuff forever and they do it with actual personality. Every print book also comes with a DRM-free ebook, which is a nice touch.

Here are a few I'm eyeing:

Practical AI Security by Harriet Farlow - This one's been on my radar for a while. The book covers the full threat landscape for AI systems: prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, red teaming for agentic systems, and more, with 30+ hands-on Python demos throughout. It's currently available for preorder and is shaping up to drop sometime this summer.

Practical Purple Teaming by Alfie Champion - Purple teaming is the idea of getting your red team (attackers) and blue team (defenders) working together instead of in silos. Champion has been building and running purple team programs for over a decade and has presented at DEF CON, Black Hat, and RSA. The book is very hands-on: you build a lab, run real attack emulations using tools like Atomic Red Team and Caldera, then work through how defenders can actually detect and respond to what just happened.

Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse by Simon Monk - A bit of a wild card but honestly a classic. It's a legitimate electronics and Raspberry Pi project book, just framed around surviving the end of the world. Solar power systems, perimeter alarms, sensor networks, communication setups - perfect for getting into using hardware.

Sale runs through March 17 at nostarch.com.
