About Code Energy

We teach the fundamentals every developer should know

Code Energy publishes computer science books for people who create code — not people who write scientific papers. Each book distills the fundamentals we believe every developer should know, explained visually and without filler.

The first book, Computer Science Distilled, covers the core concepts in one short read. The second, Computer Science Unleashed, goes deeper into cryptography, networking, data analysis, and machine learning — same approach, bigger topics.

Who we are

Code Energy was founded by Wladston Filho, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from UFMG in Brazil and has been creating software for close to twenty years. His friend Moto Pictet edited the first book, and they co-authored the second.
