    Ep. 36 - LiveView Native with Brian Cardarella

    Today, we feature a very special and juicy episode. On the one hand, we have a long overdue guest: Brian Cardarella, CEO of DockYard. Also, we will be talking fresh news and insider knowledge about one of DockYard's big projects: LiveView Native. We will discuss the philosophy of open-source software development, the importance of facilitating early adoption (even for junior developers!), documentation, teaching materials, and, of course, solving the main challenges that developers face when tackling projects that need to be deployed in the multi-screened landscape of today. Will LiveView Native be the next big addition to the Elixir ecosystem? After years of hard work and a considerable investment, we are confident it will. Version 0.2 is just around the corner!

    Ep. 32 - Coding as a window into reality. Storytelling and Meta knowledge w/ Einar

    Are you writing code or are you looking into the very fabric of reality? Are you creating a solution or participating in a Great Story that needs to be told? Einar believes that coding may be fulfilling a shamanistic function in the modern world, that learning to code is a way to become a powerful and energetic human that connects the seen with the unseen. Could it be that learning to code has a transformative effect in who you are as a person? These are some of the topics that are put forth in today's episode with DockYard Academy about-to-be-graduate Einar. He, as some of our latest guests, is transitioning into coding from other professional fields.  This is one of our most profound and "meta" conversations yet. --- Want to learn more about LiveView Native?

Step by step, Alena found herself deepening her knowledge of software development, first through self-study, and later on through bootcamps. It was this inquisitive approach that led her to Elixir Newbie. Quite the journey. Alena is an eloquent, engaging and deep spirit. You are in for a treat!
