On February 24 and 25, we are giving you a chance to ask questions of PragProg authors Ellie Fairholm and Josep Giralt D’Lacoste as part of our Winter Literary Festival in partnership with codebar.

Ellie Fairholm is a full-stack developer on the path to becoming a solutions architect. She excels at communication and believes that no topic is too difficult to learn. She is deeply passionate about making technology available to all, especially to those often underrepresented in the industry. She currently lives in the UK and is committed to working on projects that will one day change the world.

Pep G. D’Lacoste is the founder of BeamOps Software Consultancy, a company that takes a hands-on approach to simplifying BEAM projects and ensuring lasting sustainability by involving the whole team. He has been working with Elixir for 10 years and helped set up the Elixir Meetup in his home town of Barcelona. He now lives in the UK and is on a mission to empower developers and revolutionize the way technical teams operate.

Ellie Fairholm and Josep Giralt D’Lacoste are the authors of Engineering Elixir Applications. Ask them about programming, DevOps, Elixir, or anything else—really!

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