Productive Programmer: Phoenix 1.7 LiveView (self-published)

Greetings Productive Programmer,

Early access to our Phoenix 1.7 LiveView course is now live and it’s FREE! The first Several videos (60~ minutes) are available. You will learn all of the essential LiveView knowledge necessary in the free course to continue your learning into the paid course where you will (in the paid course) build a Beautiful Project Walkthrough of a LIVE Chat App and much more (often without writing a single line of Javascript or a single .css file!) How cool is that!

Then from there we will be continuously building out the community by adding to the full(paid) course and including more Project Walkthroughs (in addition to the Chat App you will build) so that you will be continuously introduced to more layers of Phoenix/LiveView, features, and just really cool and fun concepts like Machine Learning & More!

Do I need to know Elixir before starting this course?

No prerequisites are required, students may start with our crash course and from there we provide both an all encompassing path so students can stick to just one resource (our site) while also providing additional recommendations of where students can expand their understanding in documentations and other guides if they want to go further on a topic outside of our courses. Students also help drive the future direction of courses and lessons by providing feedback, engagement, and requests for future lessons about topics they are interested in.

Special Elixir Forum Offer!

For a limited time I am upgrading all purchases of the Phoenix paid course ($97) to a full lifetime all-access membership so that you get access to all current and future courses!
Please see post 24 for latest offer details.

See you over there soon!

Awesome, congrats on launching the course. Went ahead and purchased it right away. Timing is just perfect. Considering going back to Elixir/Phoenix and was looking for 1.7 and Tailwind refresher.

Hello,
Just bought it!
But I need a receipt and cannot get it. Also, I would like to buy a group license for my team but you still don’t have it.
These two are very important topics for a business customer so I believe you would profit a lot by implement them ASAP. Good work!

Hi @NotQuiteLagom

I just forwarded to the email you signed up with a receipt. Please feel free to reply to my email to discuss how many licenses you would like to get and I’ll do my best to solve the team license option for you and your team.

Thank you!!!

Working through the free course, I see playback speed does not persist between videos. So far so good.

For what it’s worth, this was the first course I’ve ever finished of many i’ve started. Perhaps it was a tad too short! But I really enjoyed your style and hope you succeed in building a large following. The $97 usd is a bit too much for my budget for now but i’d love to continue it. Now going back to pragdave’s which is a chore to slog through, I keep losing interest in the videos and then having to rewind.

Thank you for your kind review and feedback @dub2 I really appreciate it!

I bought the lifetime subscription - congratulations on launching the product and I look forward to the remainder of the content being delivered. It’s quite light-on, considering the price point.

Hey Ryan, this looks promising! Thank you for sharing more details about what the course(s) contain.

I had another question: what is the difference between the Phoenix 1.7 LiveView Course (FULL VERSION) and the Lifetime Access products, both currently at USD $97. After starting the first video from the free version (Welcome - How to Consume this Course), I notice you explain it there. As a humble suggestion, surfacing these details here and/or on the site might make it easier for other folks to make a decision too.

Thanks for putting this all together, Ryan; I’m enthusiastic about how this continues to unfold! :raised_hands:

I highly recommend the courses.

Ryan is skilled at presenting both the technical details and how they fit together in the big picture.
The video and audio quality are top-notch, and the pace is very suitable for writing code simultaneously.

Well done, and I’m glad I purchased lifelong access.
