Sounds like you are looking for something like this?

I 100% understand where you are coming from, and entirely agree that good intro-level tutorials are important and valuable. There are several Elixir intros out there, such as Learn Elixir and Learn Phoenix as well as good content on Udemy … but, most are indeed language intros and don’t really go through that “big picture” view in creating an application. Design patterns, library choices, development practices …

The closest I’ve seen is Daily Drip Elixir. They do a series where the walk through the creation of Firestorm Forum, which is pretty cool.

Personally, I want to do content for people in that intermediate phase of Elixir exploration, as people need something to “graduate” to once they are comfortable with the every-day things like pattern matching and using mix .. but I’m not sure I can make the time commitment to a full episodic series covering application development and design. However, I do want to discuss design patterns and such things in the episodes, and I will eventually be organizing things into playlists … so who knows .. maybe it will organically emerge to some extent?

Enjoy your journey in Elixir .. it’s a pretty awesome toolbox with a pretty great community already around it

Yeah, wasn’t sure if the keyboard was TOO LOUD or not, it doesn’t bother me in the video but then .. I’m used to the silly CLACK CLACK CLACK noises and therefore not a good judge of these things.

As for doing the naration in a second round, I was considering this as well .. I’d still record the audio with the first go-around, but then dub over it for something more polished. I’ll give that a go in the second episode.

I don’t think I’ll edit out too many mistakes, etc.. .. I sort of like the “looking over somebody’s shoulder” style of live coding .. but maybe that is also just me. (It’s something I quite like from channels like C++ Weekly, for instance)

Thanks for the feedback!
