This book is the introduction to Elixir for experienced programmers, completely updated for Elixir 1.6 and beyond. Explore functional programming without the academic overtones (tell me about monads just one more time). Create concurrent applications, but get them right without all the locking and consistency headaches. Meet Elixir, a modern, functional, concurrent language built on the rock-solid Erlang VM. Elixir’s pragmatic syntax and built-in support for metaprogramming will make you productive and keep you interested for the long haul. Maybe the time is right for the Next Big Thing. Maybe it’s Elixir.
Don’t forget you can get 35% off the ebook using the code ‘devtalk.com’

Guess what arrived in the mail today

RumblWeb.UserController.Rumbl.Accounts.Usermodule is shown on page 58 (of B10.0) as this.%User{}instead of%Rumbl.Accounts.User{}.… though maybe I’m not understanding your question.
Nvim
in the book in page 64 there is an alias is defined as
alias Ruble.Accounts.User

Ah, forget it. Thanks anyway

Might be worth you contacting PragProg and seeing whether they can support addition domains - I think they already added quite a few following feedback
exmanga
I am from the US, but I am studying out of the US at the moment and cannot get it.
AstonJ
The country field in you profile says you are in the US - educational domains in the US are part of the offer
exmanga
It’s a shame that only a few selected countries(domains) can get the free ebooks and the others cannot.
