What he says makes a lot of sense, but I believe there must have been a lot of thought going into the umbrella project design. I don’t have enough programming experience to comment & would like to hear the counter arguments. (For more context, a “rant” quote from Dave:) A Personal Rant About Kit…

If you haven’t seen Dave’s course I highly recommend it:

Elixir for Programmers (PragDave)

But you want more. True mastery of Elixir comes from understanding the underlying idioms: functional programming, transformations, concurrency, and application structure. You need to know the tools, such as IEx and mix. And you need to understand the frameworks, such as OTP and Phoenix. This course will get y…
