Programmer Passport: Nerves »

Nerves is the platform you’ll use to build embedded systems with Elixir. Learn how to use Nerves to build custom devices, starting with simple tasks like blinking LEDs and sending the value from a sensor to a remote computer. See how to tie together sensors with external systems, all in Elixir. Get started on your Nerves hardware projects at Grox.io!

Hero's Journey Podcasts »

What's read and write and soon to be heard all over? It's the PragProg Hero's Journey interview series, and it's coming to a podcast near you! Read on below for details.

Recently Released:

• Learn to Program, Third Edition 
• A Functional Programming Kickstart 
• Hands-on Rust 
• Kotlin and Android Development 

What time is it? It's Nerves time! In this busy release, our friends at Groxio continue to explore Nerves in layers. The projects and videos will focus on working with software in layers in a binary clock. This interesting desktop piece will express time, in binary, with LEDs. The book portion of the release will focus on sensors in a sensor hub project that can read sensor values over a network. We'll work on Nerves with Phoenix PubSub, build a circuit with a light sensor, and follow the guidance on a spec sheet to read the sensor from IEx. Get started at Grox.io!

And, while you're still in the mood to do some exploring...
