A while back we announced that our friends at The Pragmatic Studio were incrementally rolling out an Elixir/OTP video course. Their course is now complete and already getting rave reviews!

In it, you'll see and experience Elixir app development in action. For software developers, learning within this context of building a real application makes a huge difference. That's why The Pragmatic Studio has been teaching this way for years.

Pragmatic Studio's New Elixir/OTP Video Course

Build a Realistic Elixir/OTP App

"I've read almost 3 books on Elixir yet this course taught me tricks that I didn't know before. I attribute that to the realistic project that is being developed throughout the course..." — John Joseph Sweeney

By developing a real app with real code, you'll gain practical experience putting all the pieces together to craft applications the Elixir/OTP way.

We look at a variety of real-world scenarios for unique aspects of Elixir and OTP, including:

• pattern matching
• multi-clause functions
• recursion and lists
• concurrent processes
• asynchronous tasks
• external Elixir libraries
• built-in Erlang libraries
• OTP GenServers and Supervisors

From The Ground Up, Project-Based Approach

"This is the best Elixir material I've used! It doesn't pester you with 'this is an int, this is a string.' You just start building an HTTP server out and learn about Elixir along the way. It really cemented my Elixir knowledge and I feel much more comfortable in my Elixir role." — Sergio Tapia

This course takes a project-based approach, so you won't find a course module such as "Elixir Strings". Boring! Instead, we incrementally add new features as we build out a complete Elixir/OTP app from start to finish.

The first half of the course focuses on core Elixir principles and techniques ultimately revealing an app that is surprisingly similar to an out-of-the-box Phoenix web app. Spoiler Alert: Phoenix will no longer seem magical!

In the second half, we focus on what sets Elixir/OTP apart: concurrent processes, the actor model, fault tolerance, and OTP behaviors.

OTP GenServers, Supervisors, Applications, Oh My!

"What a fantastic job you've done with the Elixir course! [Even though] I've been doing Elixir for almost 4 years now...I was soon picking up things that had passed me by. Before long I was starting to deeply understand things that I'd been kind of taking for granted like processes, tasks and now GenServers. The way you introduced GenServers in particular is perfect." — Alan Gardner

By building up to the point where we need an OTP behavior to accomplish something in our application, you'll gain a deeper understanding of both the "how" and the "why" of Elixir/OTP app development. You'll come away from this course feeling really confident with:

• using concurrent processes and one-off asynchronous tasks
• implementing OTP GenServers for client/server interaction
• designing a tree of OTP Supervisors for fault recovery
• specializing the OTP Application behavior

Experience Elixir and OTP In Action

"I love the pace. It feels more like a series of really good pair programming sessions with a mentor and less like a lecture." — Hunter Stewart

This video course gets right to the point and paces things to keep you engaged. Absolutely no rambling!

Updated for Elixir 1.5, this course includes:

• 6 hours of step-by-step live coding
• 15 animations that break down advanced concepts
• 35 streamable and downloadable videos
• 56 hands-on exercises with solutions
• Lifetime access (no monthly subscription!)
