Modern Front-End Developent For Rails with Noel Rappin

Relicans host, Kirk Haines talks to Noel Rappin about the new book he has coming out: “Modern Front-End Development for Rails,” which is in part about what is interesting about Hotwire, Stimulus, and Turbo and what they bring to the table that's different than what people might be used to right now when it comes to web development, and talks about writing technical books for close to 20 years. 

Noel says, “It's a lot of time that goes into something that you can't control. You can't control what the world's going to be like when you put it out. You can't control whether people are still going to be interested in it. You can't control whether something's going to make it obsolete two weeks after it comes out.”

This is why he’s also started playing around with releasing newsletters like buttondown.email/noelrap.
