Can’t wait! Congrats @JEG2 :023:

And I completely agree with the change of name - I think it reflects the difference between working with Elixir and other languages too; in Elixir you much more feel like you are designing a system or are a system architect. I feel more like a software engineer when thinking about working with Elixir and Phoenix, whereas with Rails I always felt like a Rails user (not even a Rails developer).

This sounds awesome.

Will be waiting for this.

The only other book so far is The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook By Benjamin Wei Hao.

Good to have more books on OTP.

I wouldn’t dismiss

just because it’s doesn’t use Elixir. It goes towards explaining the reasoning behind how OTP approaches the problems that it solves.

In some way I see (p.175)

This forms part of the supervision strategy of a system and in some situations is put in place not by the developer, who focuses only on what particular workers have to do, but by the architect, who has an overall view and understanding of the system and how the different components interact with each other.

reflecting the sensibility of

DESIGN captures the essence of how to layer better than programming.

Also none of this contradicts Source Code is the Design. Code is an expression of design and design is influenced by the design-time and runtime capabilities of the target environment (however the mere existence of code is not evidence of intentional design).

Oh thanks for the advices.

I’m actually doing Benjamin Hao’s book currently.

I’ll give the Manning’s Erlang one a try.

Elixir in Action covers OTP and I prefer it over The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook, worth adding to your list.

Excited for this book!

Another book that teaches us how to program in layers. How interesting.
I have a question though, do they teach how to decouple our app logic from OTP, or are they intrinsically connected ?

Will surely check it out, I am fan so I can’t miss this out :smiley:

I’m looking forward to look into your book! Hope it delivers just like almost every single one I got from pragprog. Going to get it just after I finish reading property testing one :slight_smile:

I feel this is a major focus of our writing, but obviously I am biased. You might be able to watch the book club thread to see if others agree.
