Would you say the skills learnt from this book carry over to Elixir app development? I've been really interested in Elixir, Phoenix and OTP lately.

Honestly, only tangentially (at best). Nitrogen is fundamentally an Erlang web framework, however the OTP skills learned should be universal. but we don't dive too deeply into OTP. We introduce gen_servers and supervisors and leave it at that. Most of the book is spent with the specifics of Nitrogen.

That said, the demos[1] on the Nitrogen homepage can give you a pretty good sampling of how the framework works.
