To celebrate, I give away 10 copies of it to forum members, 15% less than the minimum price (which is from today 9.99 USD). The coupon is: bwyBsVBprTln - first come, first served.
Hopefully I have a bit more time to be more active in the forum as well. Although, my Elm book is waiting to be written…

P.S. If there is any problem with the coupon, please let me know.
@sotojuan Thanks. Writing the book was one of the hardest tasks in my career. Will write a blog post about the experience. The second book should be easier…
@Molly101 There are discussions about architectural topics in many chapters. The example application is opinionated towards a layered architecture as I have used it before with other languages and frameworks, coming from an enterprise background.
The majority of the book is about the languages/OTP and the concepts behind it, though.
@Molly101 I think - I hope - it is different. I give an overview of the languages within examples, aiming at developers who are experienced (or brave) enough to look up the manuals (which are very good in the Erlang and Elixir eco system). I did not want to repeat what the books you mention are already doing very well. I give many hints and tips how to do things with Erlang and especially Elixir and try to explain the functional programming paradigm.
The book is a reflection of my own experience and journey to learn both languages for a project.
@Molly101 Thanks! When I update, you will get the notification that there is a new version available.
Regarding the Elm book - I will do it like with this book. The minimum price was lower during early versions, so yes, there is an early bird discount. On the other side, I am holding the price low and offer a range, so many readers can afford it.
