141: Network Programming with Elixir and Andrea Leopardi
Thinking Elixir Podcast

Is There a Dunning Crueger Effect in Computer Networking?
The book is the result of a video series about network programming in Elixir and Erlang. The author wanted to create a resource for people who don't know what they're doing, but want to learn from it. He says he's not an expert on computer networks, but has done enough that he feels like he can offer more than just OTP and BIM.

We talk with Andrea Leopardi, Elixir core team member, author, and recent Protohacker celebrity! We wanted to learn more about his dbg work that outputs boolean expression info and about his experience using Elixir to solve the Protohacker networking challenges. He shares how that work parlayed into creating an Elixir networking book for PragProg. He teases what he might be working next and more!
