Joy of Elixir - Hackdot

Re:Joy of Elixir by beedn on Monday July 31, 2017 @04:41PM (#14895712)

is there any news recently about Elixir? I'm asking since recently Im seeing a lot of articles about how to get into Elixir which is really nice since I just started pickup the language as well.

Erlang/OTP 20.0, Elixir 1.5 and Phoenix framework 1.3 were all released in a timespan of 2 months or so - huge improvements to the already great ecosystem.

The Phoenix team was waiting for Elixir 1.5 to release the new version of the framework (or at least one of the devs said as much in a talk I watched a while ago).

Two months? Try all within the last 2 weeks!

Erlang/OTP 20 came out June 21[0], so about 5 weeks ago. Makes sense though, Eliir 1.5 was waiting for final release of OTP, and Phoenix was waiting on final release of Elixir, but they'd all had very stable preview releases for a while, so it wasn't a ton of work left on any of them, just finalizing and testing I imagine. I'm super excited to get my side project[1] upgraded to 1.5 and see the new dev conveniences!

A good youtube channel:

Kind of like a quick guide:

https://elixirschool.com http://elixirbridge.org/02_Intro_to_Elixir/01-why-program-wh...

I think Elixir isn't that hard about syntax. Just start to do something and learn it on the go, see how people do it.

I have experience with it, quite nice: https://github.com/yeo/betterdev.link/tree/master/community/...

Nice resources here.. I'll add this Udemy course to the list:

Does anyone have recommendations for specific Phoenix learning resources?

I've found the guide on the Phoenix website to be enough most of the time.

Wow http://elixirbridge.org seems really interesting! I'm following the official tutorial right now to get the basic down and will go through the book Programming Phoenix

Don't sleep on your Erlang literature: Learn You Some Erlang, Erlang in Anger, Design for Scalability with OTP. Also Little Elixir and OTP Guidebook is pretty short. I haven't read it yet, but Elixir in Action is supposed to be very good, too.

The Elixir News category on the Elixir Forum (or just the forum itself) is a good place to look for important updates:
