Happy New Year Margaret!

I would love to see more books about WebAssembly as I think it is going to be a very important technology moving forward.

I’d also like to see some books on PWAs (progressive web apps) as I think a lot of people are getting a bit tired of the two App Store giants, particularly when it comes to giving away so much of their revenue.

We have lots of Elixir books now so I’d love to see more Erlang books, particularly those where the authors can draw on years (or decades!) of experience and provide insights on how to build scalable systems (perhaps you could approach @bjorng and some of the other Erlang Core Team members, @ferd, or even those who use Erlang on a massive scale like @alavrik (WhatsApp Core Team) for such a book?).

I’d also love to see some books about Svelte Frontend Framework | Devtalk and TypeScript Programming Language | Devtalk as well as some dedicated to Phoenix’s LiveView.

Finally, I’d love to see some about modern Ruby, and in particular Ruby 3 and its new features (such as concurrency). Perhaps @jc00ke and @ohm or some of our other Ruby fans might be interested in writing a book as they’ve been into Ruby for a long time.

Great minds think alike! We’ll be touching on this topic in our annual update (which we hope to post in the next few days)!

@ohm I think you are on to something by focusing on a book with an example project that plays to the new features in Ruby 3. Shoot me an email if it is something you are up to doing. We have short format books as little as 50 pages long.

For working more efficiently and productively in new Scrum teams, I’m going to ask @toddmiller and @RyanRipley what books they recommend. They are the authors of #book-fixing-your-scrum and have another book in the works (too soon to talk about).

For PWA, that gives me a starting point, though I don’t have any connections / people to ask to write on the topic.
