Logic, "the arithmetic of booleans", is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks.

This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 40 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!

Logic is like arithmetic for booleans. This book teaches enough formal logic to apply to a wide range of programming tasks, including database constraints, case analysis, test coverage, and more!

The book's current status is BETA. Most of the content is in but I will be changing the prose and polishing based on reader feedback. I also need to give more attention to book layout, formatting, proofreading, and paying an artist for an Actually Good Cover Page. And there's always room for more useful exercises!

I will release new betas monthly, with the final 1.0 coming sometime in early 2025. If you buy the book now, you'll get all future version for free as well as input into how it develops. I'll be raising the price to 25 once 1.0 is ready.
