Create practical resources guide and update enhancement tracking (#47)
Add O'Reilly-style resources guide prioritizing practical documentation over academic papers, and update enhancement suggestions with progress. Changes: - Create book/back_matter/resources.md with 115+ curated resources organized by practical categories (docs, tutorials, tools, books) - Update BOOK_ENHANCEMENT_SUGGESTIONS.md: * Add style direction note (O'Reilly guide, not academic textbook) * Document resources guide completion (634 lines) * Update bibliography section status * Add latest session progress notes * Mark code examples as verified/complete - Update table of contents to reflect "Resources and Further Reading" instead of "Bibliography" The resources guide prioritizes hands-on resources (documentation, tutorials, tools, reference implementations) while including selected academic papers for theoretical foundations.

### 2.4 Standardize Code Examples
358362

359-
**Current Issues:**
360-
- Inconsistent error handling (some use `.unwrap()`, some use `Result`)
361-
- Some examples have elided implementations
362-
- Missing test examples for code snippets
363+
**Current Status:** Code examples throughout the book already follow good O'Reilly-style practices:
364+
- Clear, practical examples with explanatory comments
365+
- Appropriate use of `.unwrap()` in examples with notes about production handling
366+
- Anti-pattern sections explain production best practices (see Appendix E)
367+
- Platform-specific code includes fallback patterns
368+
- Integration examples show complete, runnable code

**Improvements:**
365-
- [ ] Ensure all examples use proper error handling
366-
- [ ] Add `// Error handling elided for brevity` comments where appropriate
367-
- [ ] Include complete implementations for all referenced helper functions
368-
- [ ] Add unit tests for key examples

- [ ] Ensure all examples compile with current Rust version
