Elixir Blog Posts

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! :wink:

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 Elixir and blog-post (or podcast) tags (as well as Phoenix, Nerves, LiveView etc if applicable). Don’t include the tags for Erlang or 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 :003:

Please see this announcement for the full details: Calling all BEAM Bloggers!

:nerd_face:


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) :023:

I’ve started a new library called Tempo that has some lofty goals that may not work out:

  • Unify Date, Time, NaiveDateTime and DateTime into a single structure
  • Represent time as intervals and sets of intervals, not scalars
  • Make times composable, enumerable and comparable with interval algebra
  • Support discontinuous times and recurring times

A grand unifying theory of time :slight_smile:

I’ve started a blog to explain my reasoning at https://kipcole9.github.io/tempo
