Elixir and Phoenix: Real World Functional Programming

About Elixir and Phoenix: Real World Functional Programming

UPDATE: Added section on Phoenix LiveView

To become a professional level programmer, you need to learn different types of languages: Everyone knows Object Oriented Programming but few people realize they need to learn a

Functional Programming language

that scales well in

distributed computing

! Elixir is one such language. It’s a fairly young language but has gained immense popularity in the past couple of years — It’s

the language of the future

. Learning Elixir and

its web framework Phoenix

means you will be set for this

high-demand job skill for the near future

. In this course, we will

start from scratch with Elixir and

then move on to

Phoenix

-- the

next generation web framework

that is set to replace a lot of deployments of Ruby, Django, PHP and even Node. The course assumes that you’ve had some basic programming experience before.

If you know a bit of Python

(just the basics: if, while, for, lists, dictionaries and tuples) or

Java

, you’d be all set. This is a very applied course, so we will

explain everything through the commands/code

and not bore you with dull slides. In fact,

there isn't a single slide in this course

! In this course, we aim to give you the feel of

the rhythm behind Elixir and Phoenix

so that you are in the position to understand the philosophy behind it and use it to your advantage. Through this approach, we can cover the whole spectrum in less than ?? hours. We will quickly

cover the fundamentals of the Elixir language

(but not go into those concepts which are never used). Similarly, we will cover

different aspects of Phoenix

(see detailed outlines below for specifics) in a way that is both

quick and efficient

instead of spending many hours explaining simple concepts.

Remember:

The reason you pay for this course is support.

I reply within the day

. See any of my

course reviews for proof

of that. So make sure you post any questions you have or any problems you face. I want

all my students to finish this course

. Let’s get through this together.
