Hello,
I’m trying to learn Phoenix but I constantly find difficult understanding how the framework works, and I think part of this is that the resources I’m learning from assume that you already know how to build an application with another MVC framework, but, what if Phoenix is the first framework I am trying to learn?
Do you know any resources to learn Phoenix without assuming you’ve already worked with Rails or another MVC framework? Or any framework-agnostic resource that explains very well this design pattern?
Thanks!

Really? I think official Phoenix guide did not make such assumption. if you just want to read more about the MVC design pattern, then there is wikipedia page

hi @eliottramirez !
Anything in particular here? What didn’t quite make sense?
Folks learn in different ways. What have you used for learning Phoenix so far?
