Looking for a book or video (preferred) that goes over concurrency patterns, gotcha's

So I am reading Programming in Elixir 1.3, and it has given me so far the basic building blocks and features of elixir. I now really want to get exposed to some real word patterns of using Genservers/concurrency tools to build something. Are their any videos or a book that would cover this nicely?

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…

Just watched the abc’s of otp video, that was nice and simple and helped solidify what I have read so far thanks!
