Hi Group,
Does anyone have suggestions on a video or talk they had seen at a conference that covered OTP (in Elixir) starting from the basics to more complex hierarchies?
Thanks all,
Santosh

I haven’t seen any yet, but I’m reading through a new book called Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP. I know that’s not exactly what you were asking for, but the book focuses exclusively on OTP frameworks. There’s one chapter early in the book that acts as a “refresher” for Erlang, which is really all you’ll need if you’re familiar with Elixir, so don’t let the Erlang title scare you away.

I gave a talk about this a few weeks ago. It covers a lot of Elixir’s concurrency and OTP, from the basis to relatively complex hierarchies and ideas.

I suggest searching for talks by Torben Hoffmann. His talks are heavy on the business argument of choosing Erlang (and Elixir), and how to do stuff with OTP.
- Erlang Patterns Matching Business Needs: https://vimeo.com/113519771
- Thinking like an Erlanger: https://vimeo.com/118258580
- Explore Elixir using board game logic: https://vimeo.com/140418537
If you only watch one I suggest the Exploring Elixir using board game logic.
Also the ElixirConf talks by Saša Jurić are all brilliant.

+1 for Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP. I’m currently reading it. I’m not even half way through the book, and and so far it has been the most helpful to me as far as having a much firmer grasp on OTP. Super happy with it!

Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP. is my next tech buy.
In the meanwhile I read the little Elixir and OTP book (https://www.manning.com/books/the-little-elixir-and-otp-guidebook) which is a really cool book to starts with.

I really enjoyed Elixir Is Neat But What Can You Actually Do With It? by Rob Conery. Quite the nice introduction.
