Update:
How to use the Blogs & Podcasts section
You can post links to your blog posts or podcasts either in one of the Official Blog Posts threads (like this one) or the Elixir Podcasts thread, or, if yo want a dedicated thread for each blog/podcast, via Devtalk.com. If you post via Devtalk we will automatically cross-post your blog post here in this section for each blog post or podcast (so one thread for each) so long as you have an account with the same username and primary email address on both forums. We also remove the rel-nofollow attribute when your link appears on our homepage on Devtalk, so great for your SEO! 
If posting via Devtalk be sure to:
- Ensure your account on Devtalk.com has the same username and primary email as your account here
- Initiate thread creation in one of the Blog Posts/Podcasts sections (for Elixir/Phoenix that may be in the Back End category, or for LiveView it could be the Front End category).
- Make sure the last link in your post is to your blog post as this is the link that will get featured on Devtalk (You can however override this by pasting the URL of your blog post or podcast in the TITLE field, however you will need to be at Trust Level 1 to do that.)
- Include a short summary of your blog post or podcast then post the link on a separate line (here’s an example)
- Include the
Elixirandblog-post(orpodcast) tags (as well asPhoenix,Nerves,LiveViewetc if applicable). Don’t include the tags forErlangor any other BEAM language as the system will instead post your blog post on to the Erlang Forums.
It will then create a thread on Devtalk and then automatically cross-post here under your account 
Please see this announcement for the full details: Calling all BEAM Bloggers!
This thread exists to aggregate learning resources about Elixir.
Feel free to add links to blog posts, articles, screencasts, etc. to the Wiki (this post) as well as in a new post in the thread (so everyone else is alerted as well)

I put together a new post in my “literate commits” style where I go about building the simplest possible Phoenix application from the ground up, one commit at a time.
Check it out: Minimum Viable Phoenix
I’m pretty excited about this format, and I’m interested to know what people think!

Configuring Distillery
Latest post from Eric over at the SmartLogic blog:
“Following up on our last post about generating an Erlang release through Docker, let’s talk about how we configure Distillery to generate the actual release. Here again I’m using the example of the scripts I use to deploy Grapevine, to give us a real example to look at.”

These are always fun ones to read! ^.^
EDIT:
No clue what a
.DS_Storeline is doing in your.gitignorefile or what it is for? I don’t see it listed in any of my .gitignore’s that I’ve grabbed from a large variety of git projects. Should detail why it is there and what it has to do with Elixir?griffinbyatt
DS_Store is a macOS file that contains folder information. Usually included in global gitignore files!
OvermindDL1
Ah, yeah, system-specific junk files like the macos stuff should not go in project
.gitignorefiles, that’s like the Windows icon cache file litter too which that post left out in that case. Should set that globally by putting it in a global gitignore file, likeecho .DS_Store > ~/.gitignore_globaland make sure git uses it as the global gitignore viagit config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global.sorentwo
Hmm. I thought git respected a .gitignore in the home folder by default. I have a few things in there (TODO, .DS_Store) and don’t recall ever setting anything in the config.
OvermindDL1
Hmm, it wasn’t on any of my systems… Let me check the help file. ^.^;
Ooo, I’m very sure it used to not have a default, but now apparently the default is
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignorefalling back to$HOME/.config/git/ignore.hauleth
Today I have found this article:
Enjoy.

Love the format. Each section is a commit. You can clone the repo and go through the post using git and run the commands yourself, while reading the blog post in your terminal git history.
It would be awesome to have a similar thing that would be runnable as a test. I would embed commands with expected output. If the output doesn’t match, the test fails. Integrate it into
ex_doc. No more outdated “soft” documentation, like Phoenix guides.marciol
@petecorey published it on Elixir Blog Posts. This is a really interesting article and reminds me of a friend that started over a very simple project in which he used only Plug, but after some time he discovered that he was reinventing Phoenix, so he dropped to regular Phoenix.
