Unpacked Multi-Player Bingo: An Elixir + Phoenix + Elm/Vue App »

Elixir, Phoenix, Elm, and Vue.js are impressive on their own, but mixing them involves concurrency and fault-tolerance concerns, setting up real-time communication channels talking to either Elm or Vue front-ends, and more. The Pragmatic Studio’s latest video course skillfully unpacks a full-featured Elixir + Phoenix + Elm / Vue application layer-by-layer, giving you a jump-start on building similar applications.

Programming Phoenix ≥ 1.4: Productive |> Reliable |> Fast

Phoenix is the long-awaited web framework based on Elixir, the highly concurrent language that combines a beautiful syntax with rich metaprogramming. The best way to learn Phoenix is to code, and you'll get to attack some interesting problems. Start working with controllers, views, and templates within the first few pages. Build an in-memory context, and then back it with an Ecto database layer, complete with changesets and constraints that keep readers informed and your database integrity intact. Craft your own interactive application based on the channels API for the real-time applications that this ecosystem made famous. Write your own authentication plugs, and use the OTP layer for supervised services. Organize code with modular umbrella projects.

This edition is fully updated for Phoenix 1.4, with a new chapter on using Channel Presence to find out who's connected, even on a distributed application. Use the new generators and the new ExUnit features to organize tests and make Ecto tests concurrent.

This is a book by developers and for developers, and we know how to help you ramp up quickly. Any book can tell you what to do. When you've finished this one, you'll also know why to do it.

Now in beta from pragprog.com/book/phoenix14.

Unpacked Multi-Player Bingo: An Elixir + Phoenix + Elm/Vue App

It’s one thing to build a standalone Elixir or Phoenix app. It’s an entirely different undertaking to design a full-stack app with:

• a highly-scalable Elixir OTP app,
• a super-charged Phoenix app, and
• a front-end using either Elm or Vue.js

Combining these together, you can build some really cool applications! But to reach the promised land, you’ll have to deftly navigate through many design decisions, including:

• How is the code organized and structured? How many OTP applications?
• When and where are GenServers used?
• What does the supervision tree look like?
• If a concurrent process crashes, how will its state be restored?
• What role does Phoenix play?
• What’s the balance of power and responsibility between front-end applications and the backservices?
• How do Elm and Vue.js front-ends communicate with real-time Phoenix channels?

The Pragmatic Studio answers these questions and much more in their new video course that unpacks a full-stack Elixir + Phoenix + Elm/Vue application layer by layer. By exploring the design, architecture, and code of a fun multi-player game, you’ll understand how all the pieces work in harmony together so you can jump right into building your own cool apps!

The video course includes:

• 25 videos totaling roughly 3.5 hours
• 15 animations exploring the key design elements
• All the source code, of course!
• Never-ending access (no monthly subscription)

Unpacked Multi-Player Bingo: An Elixir + Phoenix + Elm/Vue App is now complete and ready for you at https://pragmaticstudio.com/unpacked-bingo. And it’s on sale through May 31!
