About the Book

In 2018, Leanpub co-founder Len Epp talked with Leanpub authors and other guests in dozens of long-form podcast interviews. This book collects those conversations, edited for reading with our PodcastBook service.

You'll read authors like Jerry Weinberg on programming, software testing, and a life of writing, Gregor Hohpe on IT transformation and the "architect elevator," Marie Force on becoming a bestselling author, Don Tapscott on a new social contract for the digital age, and Brad Sams on the fall and rise of Microsoft Surface.

Other guests talk about DevOps, Docker, microservices, C++, Clojure, Laravel, Vim and EPUB, and about a wide range of general interest topics including contemporary dance, travel writing, kendo, copyright and library e-lending, branding, and more.

Please note that the original transcript of the interview has been transformed into a more book-like style by our PodcastBook service, and nothing in this book should be read or used as an actual quotation from the speaker.

About the Author

Leanpub Podcasts

This is the author account for the Leanpub Podcast books, which are produced using our premium PodcastBook service.

Each book in the series collects a year or more of our long-form podcast interviews with Leanpub authors.

These books aren't transcripts, and are in a sense a new genre: they're book-style versions of person-to-person interviews.

We hope you enjoy the books and, if you have your own podcast that you'd like to sell as a book, please check out PodcastBook!
