Phoenix is the new and stunningly popular web framework for Elixir. If you're looking for astonishing, blazing speed and crystalline clear beauty in your code, look at Phoenix. Don't get left behind, get yourself and your teammates copies today. Now in print and shipping from pragprog.com/book/phoenix.
And while we're talking about the web, let's talk about taming the modern stylesheet with Sass. Sass lets you write CSS faster and more easily by enabling you to use programming language features that regular CSS doesn't have. Now available in beta from pragprog.com/book/pg_sass3.
Come and get 'em!
Programming Phoenix: 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 authors, who developed the earliest production Phoenix applications, will show you how to create code that's easier to write, test, understand, and maintain.
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 repository, and then back it with an Ecto database layer. Learn to use change sets 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, high-performance applications that this ecosystem made famous. Write your own authentication components called plugs, and even learn to use the OTP layer for monitored, reliable services. Organize your code with umbrella projects so you can keep your applications modular and easy to maintain.
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.

Pragmatic Guide to Sass 3: Tame the Modern Stylesheet
Bring the power of Sass to your projects, whether you use Node.js, Ruby, or any other programming language. This updated Pragmatic Guide gives you brief, targeted hands-on examples in an easy-to-follow modular format.
Use variables to easily change color values, measurements, or fonts across a whole project. Pare down large style sheets into comprehensible code with maps and placeholder selectors. Organize your Sass with media queries to make maintainable, responsive designs. Create your own layout systems and build shared tooling across projects that make designs more consistent. Learn the differences between extends and mixins. Build data structures to make creating site-wide color schemes a breeze, and use placeholder selectors to keep style sheets cleaner. Pass content through mixins, prevent accidental deep nesting of selectors, and use cutting-edge modular add-ons in the new Sass ecosystem, such as Eyeglass, Susy, and Bourbon Neat.
This revised guide covers all the new features in Sass 3.4, including selector parsing and manipulation. Make full use of all Sass's features by updating to the most mature and powerful CSS toolchain out there.
