Hi all

I haven’t read them yet, but have you looked at #book-elixir-in-action and #book-the-little-elixir-and-otp-guidebook?

I wouldn’t make that your first OTP book, but definitely come back to it. That book is the most practical thing I’ve ever read about distributed architectures.

Just started it it’s definitely better to read Elixir in Action first

Big, big fan of Elixir in Action. I think you’ll learn the concepts from EiA, which will set you up very well for diving into Erlang later.

I bought it and I am reading it.
I would suggest to read first Elixir in Action and then Designing OTP (they are both amazing books)

I suppose you need some Erlang knowledge first for this book? :slight_smile:

Yes I’d recommend reading this book, you’ll learn a lot about how OTP works, which are the good patterns and the anti-patterns, etc.
