What is the best freely accessible Phoenix tutorial? I recently searched a bit, tried a bit, but then ran into a problem, that should not have happened according to the tutorial. I guess the tutorial was outdated (got the RoR vibes from years ago). I could not fix it, due to the lack of understanding of how Phoenix works and what it wants me to do. Gave up again (for the second time) on learning Phoenix. Is there an always kept up-to-date tutorial around somewhere? I might consider it again, since I want to learn what liveview and all that is really about and how well it can make web apps etc.

I would get it from the phoenix's beak honestly - https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

agreed, the phoenix dubs and guides are excellent.

for elixir books, i strongly recommend sasa juric’s elixir in action—it’s the best explanation of processes and genservers i’ve found.

Pragmatic studios has great Elixir and Phoenix courses, they upgrade the courses regularly and you get access to the new versions without extra costs.
