Spotlight: Bruce Tate (Author) Interview and AMA!

Author Spotlight:
Bruce Tate
@redrapids

Programming languages always emerge out of need, and if that’s not always true, they’re definitely adopted out of need. We talked with Bruce Tate, co-author of Programming Phoenix LiveView, about how technologies find their right time and place and then showcase their abilities like a flower suddenly blooming into view.

This is also an AMA. Everyone commenting or asking a question will automatically be entered into our drawing to win a copy of Programming Phoenix LiveView!

When Bruce Tate says “I’ve written many books,” he means it. His contributions are far from ordinary; they are among the best books about programming and development particularly Elixir. Bruce has authored and co-authored some of the best programming and development books.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Bruce for being an incredible tech trainer and for sharing his knowledge through these books. Your contributions are invaluable. Thank you, Bruce!

Thanks @redrapids and @Erica for the great interview. Event sourcing is a new term that I discovered and looks like the next rabbit hole I am going to find myself in.

I have a question about how you manage to get proficient in more than one language. I am a long time python user and I am comfortable enough in the language that it is the first one I reach for whenever I have a problem to solve. My question is how do you go from “Let me quickly solve it in the language / framework X that I know” to “Wander towards a possible dead-end in a language / framework Y which looks interesting but I don’t know much”?
