Learn phoenix with or without Liveview

Hi all,

I have just completed my first Elixir book and would now like to learn Phoenix and LiveView now.

What would be the best way forward to have a gentle learning curve and develop strong fundamentals - learn Phoenix without LiveView or with LiveView?

What resources to you suggest for this?

Looking forward to your advice.

I would suggest learning Phoenix with LiveView. One resource that I really liked is The Pragmatic Studio Elixir/Phoenix course. It’s a really good introduction to phoenix at not a bad price point (if you are in the US). Otherwise, there are ton of videos on YouTube.

Recommended Course for Phoenix/LiveView

I wanted to share a resource that might be helpful for those learning Phoenix and LiveView. The courses at Arrowsmith Labs have been valuable in my learning journey.

They cover Phoenix and LiveView concepts in a straightforward manner, and I found the content useful for my development work.

At the point phoenix is now, there is simply no difference if you go with plain phoenix views or liveview, it’s all tightly coupled into the framework at this point in time. I would also recommend to stick to updated material as there were a lot of changes in phoenix the last few years.

The only advice I can give is to skip entirely other stuff that comes bundled with phoenix, such as ecto, if you are not familiar with it. Ecto in special will give you a hard time as it has a much steeper learning curve than phoenix.
