Elixir will change the way you think about programming. Use your Ruby experience to quickly get up to speed so you can see what all of the buzz is about. Go from zero to production applications that are reliable, fast, and scalable. Learn Elixir syntax and pattern matching to conquer the basics. Then move onto Elixir's unique process model that offers a world-class way to go parallel without fear. Finally, use the most common libraries like Ecto, Phoenix, and Oban to build a real-world SMS application. Now's the time. Dive in and learn Elixir.
Whether you're a seasoned Ruby developer looking to expand your skill set or a programming beginner looking for a solid foundation in Elixir, this book has what you need to get up to speed quickly. Elixir is a functional language with a fairly small footprint. This makes it easier to learn and put into production than other languages. Plus, it's built on forty-year-old foundations that give your applications rock-solid stability.
This book is organized into two parts. Part I is focused entirely on the fundamentals of the Elixir language. You’ll learn how to read and write Elixir code during this part of the book, which will be necessary in Part II. We’ll also cover slightly more advanced topics such as GenServer and the full power of pattern matching. Each section of Part I is designed to be completely stand-alone. The code examples are all chapter-specific, so you won’t be in the dark if you decide to start out of order.
Part II is where theory meets practice. You’ll write a real application that uses an API to send and receive text messages. The purpose of Part II is to introduce you to the best libraries in Elixir that are used to build robust applications. We’ll cover database access, Phoenix web framework, a database-powered job system, and more. The examples in this part all build on the previous chapters, but you can start out of order with the provided code snapshots.
Elixir is required for this book. Setup will depend on your operating system, but it’s important that you’re set up for success. I strongly recommend using the asdf1 version manager to configure both Erlang and Elixir. You’ll learn about why you need different libraries in the first chapter, but it’s important that you pick compatible versions of Elixir and Erlang.
