Episode 10: Teaching and Evangelizing Elixir and FP

We talk with Chris Miller and Andre Bryan, hosts of the YouTube channel Coding Cave, about their experiences teaching and evangelizing functional programming. We learn how Chris got interested in Elixir and inspired Andre to come along for the adventure, and the why and how of teaching FP. With some many educators on our panel, this episode was definitely a lively one!

Episode 7: Lars Wikman and Building it Right

In this episode Lars introduces the topic of building things the right way and brings up his perspective on what the BEAM and Elixir are doing well. We get into the cultural aspects, the design and the layering of brick upon brick that makes this community and ecosystem special. Why is it that people build so ambitiously on the BEAM? Then Sophie asks for zero-preparation podcast recommendations.

Episode 5: Bruce Tate and Turtles All the Way Down

For this week's episode, we talk to Bruce Tate, member of the Elixir community since the language turned 1.0. As one of the main people behind Elixir's publishing scene, Bruce was the editor of the ElixirSource line of books for the Pragmatic Bookshelf through most of its history. He is a coauthor for Programming Phoenix, Designing Elixir Systems with OTP, and Adopting Elixir, and the chief author and content developer for Groxio, LLC. The episode starts as Bruce tells his story spanning the early days of Java, Ruby, and eventually Elixir. Along the way, he talks about writing books, and how Seven Languages in Seven Weeks led to an introduction to Joe Armstrong, and marked the beginning of his great love for programming languages. Along the way, Bruce and Lars discuss the PETAL stack, and his experiences teaching Groxio liveview classes. Bruce and Sophie also discuss writing at the Pragmatic Bookshelf together, and teaching together using the CRC pattern. https://changelog.com/posts/petal-the-end-to-end-web-stack https://pragprog.com/titles/liveview/programming-phoenix-liveview/ We want to connect with you!
