@ashleypeacock

On February 27 and 28, we are giving you a chance to ask questions of PragProg author Ashley Peacock as part of our Winter Literary Festival in partnership with codebar.

Ashley Peacock is the author of Creating Software with Modern Diagramming Techniques and Serverless Apps on Cloudflare. He has experience across the tech stack and has worked as a staff engineer and architect in the UK tech industry for over a decade. Ask him about programming, one of the technologies he has written about, or anything else—really!

Everyone commenting or asking a question will automatically be entered into a drawing to win one of the author’s books.

In addition, from February 24 to March 2, as part of our Winter Literary Festival with codebar, you can use promo code 2025WinterFest to save 40 percent on purchases at pragprog.com. We’ll donate 20 percent of the net income from the promotion back to codebar after the event.

Offer not valid where prohibited or restricted. Offer not valid on previous purchases. The Pragmatic Programmer: 20th Anniversary Edition is not eligible for discounts, as we do not publish it.

Hit Reply to post your question below. The author will check in periodically to answer your questions.

I think you’ll like it Ashley (I love it!) I’m glad they bought back the purchase option (they went sub-only at one point). If you end up getting it let us know how yo get on with it.

Ah nice! I wouldn’t mind trying rock climbing one day - but not for anything crazy! Some of the climbs I’ve seen people do look really dangerous, eek!

Hi @ashleypeacock,

After watching your author spotlight, I’m almost convinced to move my website to Cloudflare since hosting a basic static website is free with Cloudflare Pages. My only hesitation is that I have limited technical skills. Do you think it’s a reasonable project for an English major with basic HMTL and CSS skills to use something like Hugo to build a new site and deploy it to Cloudflare?
