Best current comprehensive guide for entry into Phoenix?
Programming Phoenix seems a bit out of date, and though I am willing to read through the book and use the resources produced and shared on this forum to work through the examples I wonder if there is a more up-to-date guide?
Thanks.
Edit: Apologies, I’ve seen a few resources via the Phoenix website.
I’ll quickly take a look at these now, and close the thread if they’re recent enough.

Going to be working through Phoenix Tutorial (Phoenix 1.6) by Binh Tran, as I feel this version is recent enough to troubleshoot any version issues, and the depth and breadth of the tutorial is even more than I’d hoped.
I’ll mark this as the solution for any one else running into defunct facets with Programming Phoenix, and is not looking to do too much refactoring.

Know I keep responding to my own thread, but as an fyi to future viewers it would actually be better, imo, to go for the Phoenix Guide first, as it is very detailed, completely up-to-date and the pacing is great for granular learners who want to learn the fundamentals of the framework and use that knowledge for their own troubleshooting efforts later.
After working through the guide, I’d then go for the Phoenix Tutorial by Binh Tran to build a few of the exemplifying apps. Then, oddly enough, I’d swing by the Programming Phoenix 1.4 book, since you will be in a better place to spot defunct steps ahead of time and thus progress much more smoothly through the book…
…topping off with Programming Phoenix LiveView.
