71: LiveView and the 7-GUI Tasks with German Velasco
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Elixir Conference - Code Beam America
Next up, scenic zero dot 11. There's a bata release being published. Do you have an appetite for more conferences? Code beam america is coming up next. And we've got links to all this and shownuts.
We catch up with German Velasco then talk about how he learned of the 7-GUI Tasks online challenge and how he wanted to see how LiveView could approach it. We talk about his ElixirConf presentation and how the idea of modeling state impacted his solutions to these problems. We go over what these common UI patterns are and how LiveView is able to approach them differently. We talk about Chris McCord’s idea of “Live Apps” and how LiveView really is different from what other languages and communities can do. We discuss using LiveView to implement UI patterns that it wasn’t designed for and how that process has gotten better over time and much more!
