Episode #99: OTP backed Web Application Part 2
In part 2 we’ll update our application to allow users to add cryptocurrencies from the UI. Once added, we’ll display the cryptocurrency and update pricing every minute using a GenServer.
Episode #98: OTP backed Web Application Part 1
In part one of this series we’ll lay the foundation for our application. First we’ll see how we can fetch cryptocurrency prices. Then we’ll create a GenServer to store the prices and add it to our supervision tree.

Episode #85: API Authorization with API Keys Part 1
There are many different ways to authorize API requests. In part 1 of this series we will setup an Elixir application to generate an API key we can use to authorize API requests with.
Episode #84: JSON:API Pagination
In this episode we’ll learn how to paginate JSON API results according to the JSON:API specification using the JaSerializer package.
Episode #83: JSON:API with JaSerializer
In this episode we’ll update an existing JSON API to follow the JSON:API specification. To help us, we’ll use the the JaSerializer package.
Episode #80: Proactive Caching
In this episode we’ll use proactive caching with Cachex. Proactive caching can help ensure there is never a cache miss since data is loaded when the application starts.
Episode #79: Caching with Cachex
Here we look at how to use Cachex to create a cache in an Elixir application. We’ll start by seeing how to interact with Cachex and then we’ll implement a simple cache in our application.
Episode #77: Validating API Parameters Part 2
In this episode we’ll explore another way to validate API params. We’ll update our existing example to use the Params package, which reduces much of the boilerplate of defining Ecto schemas and changesets.
Episode #76: Validating API Parameters Part 1
In this episode we’ll see how we can validate API parameters . We’ll take a simple search API and use schemaless Ecto changesets to validate the request parameters.
Episode #74: Erlang Term Storage - ETS
In this episode we’re getting started with Erlang Term Storage or ETS. We’ll learn the basics of storing data with ETS, then we’ll expand on that to see how ETS can be used in a Phoenix application.

HTTP Basic Authentication is a simple way to add authenticate users in an application. In this episode we’ll see how to add basic auth to an Elixir application.
Episode #72: Intro to Elixir Streams
In this episode we’ll get an introduction to Elixir Streams. We’ll see why they’re called “lazy enumerables” and how they can be composed to perform more complex transformations.
Episode #70: Updating Page Data with Channels
In this episode we’ll see how we can easily use Phoenix Channels to broadcast events from the server in order to update the client in realtime.
Episode #69: Receiving Webhooks
In this episode we’ll learn how to consume a webhook. Our application will take the data from a Stripe webhook and use it update the corresponding user.
Episode #67: Custom Mix Task
You’ll use Mix tasks all the time when using Elixir, from creating a new Elixir project to seeding the database. In this episode we’ll learn how to create a custom Mix task.
Episode #63: Getting Started with Tasks
In this episode we’ll be exploring one of the key features of Elixir: tasks. Tasks make it easy to run Elixir code concurrently. In this episode we’ll look at some common ways Task is used.
Episode #61: Twitter Authentication
In this episode we’ll be adding the ability for users to sign in to a Phoenix web application with Twitter. We’ll use Ueberauth to help us handle the OAuth flow to and from Twitter.
Episode #59: Getting State from a GenServer
In this episode we’ll explore how we can separate the client API of a GenServer from its server callbacks. This can be a good idea to help break GenServer modules up as they become more complex.
Episode #57: Using Plug to Secure Routes
Now that we’ve created our ‘Order History’ pages, we need to make sure only the respective customers are able to view their order history. We’ll use Plug to help us do this.
Episode #56: Completing Order History and Receipt Pages

Episode #55: Defining Routes and Structuring Data
In this episode we get started building an order history page. We’ll look at how our application is structured, how we can fetch data from an API to build our receipts, and how to structure that data.
Episode #53: Parsing HTML with Floki
In this episode we’ll learn how to parse HTML with the Floki package. Floki makes it easy to search for specific nodes in HTML using CSS selectors.
Episode #51: Feature Flags
In this episode we’ll learn how we can use feature flags to toggle different features of an application to different users. To do this we’ll be using the FunWithFlags package in an existing Elixir application.
Episode #49: Concurrency with Task.async_stream
In this episode we’ll update an existing Elixir application to make it use a Stream throughout. Then we’ll see how we can use Task.async_stream to make concurrent API calls.

Episode #36: Charts with Chart.js Part 1
In Part 1 of this series we’ll set the foundation by building a simple chart using the chart.js library. Our chart will display a static count of our movie genres.
Episode #30: Moving to Elixir Part 6
In part 6 we experiment with OTP to see how we can make our inventory import more resilient. Then we’ll use the power of concurrency in Elixir to speed up our inventory import.
Episode #29: Moving to Elixir Part 5
Now that our interface is working, we turn our attention to making sure our inventory it displays is current. We’ll create a custom Mix Task that we can run to import and update our inventory.
Episode #28: Moving to Elixir Part 4
In part 4 we work on some improvements to our interface. We’ll add pagination, use Ecto to ensure we’re only displaying the cars we want to. Then we’ll see how helper functions can be used in our templated.
Episode #27: Moving to Elixir Part 3
In part 3 we tackle URLs. We create a new URL structure to go along with our new app. Then we use Plug to create a custom redirect module to handle traffic to the old URL structure.
