⚡️ Stephen Bussey’s Post

Attention software world--particularly engineers: ⚡️ Stephen Bussey has dropped a new book! "From Ruby to Elixir: Unleash the Full Potential of Functional Programming" If you don't know ⚡️ Stephen Bussey, he is our co-founder, CTO, and the guy that built most of Supered⚡with his mind and keyboard. He is also really impressively good at understanding user experience, product market fit, go to market strategy, and getting SOC II certified. To summarize, if you know what Ruby or Elixir are without googling them (programming languages), and you want to learn from a real one who does the work, check out his book.

And as a random coincidence (a-hem) the latest CppCast pod cast is up, https://lnkd.in/eabZZ7t4, where I appeared as a guest chatting with Matt and Phil about random numbers and AI

The final chapter of my catching up with #cpp book is with my editor. Another peer review round soon, then final corrections. Getting close to done done. https://lnkd.in/ezG8VwiF

Coding is a craft that can only be truly mastered through the fires of experience. Lectures, books, and tutorials are valuable resources, but they merely lay the theoretical foundation. The real learning happens when you dive headfirst into the code editor, ready to stumble, break things, and ultimately emerge stronger on the other side.

Today is a big day, because ALL chapters of my book Rust in a Month of Lunches are available! That's 24 in total. I think it's about 500 pages now. The work isn't entirely done and I'm in the midst of a full review of the book as we speak which will take one more week (on Chapter 18 now). Then will come a flood of feedback, some work on images, discuss this and that...but getting close! And as a reader you can see the whole thing now with not much of a big difference from the final product. https://lnkd.in/gSJiSDs4

Programming beat the idea of inspiration out of me and I made a video talking about it. Inspiration feels great, but if you wait for it, you'd write every two weeks or so. This means it could take you years to write a single book. But I wrote 3 in the last 4 years. Here's the full video: https://lnkd.in/dEKp6CEx

🦀 The Rustonomicon 「 The Rustonomicon digs into all the awful details that you need to understand when writing Unsafe Rust programs. Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book. It is not necessary. However if you intend to write unsafe code — or just want to dig into the guts of the language — this book contains lots of useful information 」 https://lnkd.in/dNqxV92G #Rust #RustLang

This week’s #FeaturedFriday spotlights Andrew Lombardi, coauthor (with Joseph Ottinger) of “Beginning Spring 6, Second Edition: From Beginner to Pro.” He shared a bit about his writing experience and inspiration: Q: How would you describe the experience of writing your book? “The latest edition of the book was certainly easier than the first given we had an existing structure and codebase to work from. We worked hard to ensure correctness and to inject some new topics that we only lightly covered in the first edition.” Q: Most tech authors write their books alongside work/life responsibilities—how did you find the time to complete your book? “As the head of a consulting company, I manage a team of 10 engineers so the time shows up in small pockets and you have to steal time where you can.” Q: How did you decide on the structure & organization of the book? “Working together with Joe we assessed the landscape of what was new in #Spring and current technologies and usefulness and decided on what we felt would be the best items to cover. As with the previous edition of the book we wanted to write a book that was conversational, fun to read, and not only taught you about Spring but how to think more like a programmer.” Q: What role do you think your own perspective and experiences played in shaping the book? “Hopefully our perspectives and experiences played a large role in shaping the book and pulling together a great set of pages that are informative and fun.” For more on Andrew’s book: https://lnkd.in/eUHxxWBW   Want to write a tech book for Apress?

And now a word on how you can write readable code, from the opinion of the author. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts in the comments: https://lnkd.in/gqW53CRs

Haven't even finished half of the book and I can already tell that it is one of the best regarding this subject, Highly recommended book. Really thanks Klaus Iglberger for all the information, knowledge and effort made in writing this book. #Softwareengineering #softwaredesign #designPatterns #ModernCpp https://amzn.eu/d/7jgtdgQ
