JEG2's Questions

I’m publishing a new series of articles on my blog this week. It’s my attempt to condense and share what I’ve learned in over 20 years of Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView and Ruby/Rails development. I hope you find it helpful.

Looks like this will be a nice series! Thanks James!

Could even be a good candidate for a book? Sort of reminds me of Metaprogramming Ruby where there were loads of questions/answers… this is what I wrote about it on my blog:

Metaprogramming Ruby

Metaprogramming Ruby is exceptionally well written, and I love the style the authors have adopted for this book. You follow the journey of a junior Ruby programmer who’s just started a new job, and gets paired up with a far more experienced Rubyist. This makes for a great backdrop to slip in questions and answers at all the right moments – genius!

Metaprogramming Ruby is an essential purchase, because it goes deep into some of Ruby’s coolest tricks, and although some of the other books cover Metaprogramming too, this one concentrates on it from start to finish – and when it comes to metagprogramming, a little goes a long way :wink: Grab it from here.

It’s also nice to see you still putting out content all these years later, when I first got into Ruby you were one of the first names I heard of (IIRC, it was a podcast called Ruby Rouges, on which I think you were a regular).

It could possibly end up there someday. I don’t think I’m done collecting the principles yet. The ones I’m posting this week, I am certain sure of, but I have drafts of others that I am still feeling out. We also need to see how useful others find them.

Thanks so much for the kind words.

Where Next?
