Programmer Passport (Grox.io) (PragProg)

Grox.io looks really nice and I love that they’re doing a Joe Armstrong tribute :heart:

Bruce Tate (@redrapids) has put together a team to form Grox.io and they have partnered with The Pragmatic Bookshelf to offer a subscription based online learning outfit. You get to cover 6 languages a year (so you go through one language every two months) and each course consists of:

  • An ebook (produced and edited by PragProg - so expect their usual high standard)
  • Videos
  • Exercises

The first three being covered in 2020 (Prolog, Elixir and OTP) are a celebration and tribute to the legacy of Joe Armstrong - the language that inspired him and the technology inspired by him.


Join us on a journey to explore six programming languages per year. Each language unit in this subscription contains proprietary chapters written by Bruce Tate and edited by The Pragmatic Bookshelf, instructional videos (some including interviews with language creators and/or core teams), projects, and other curated resources to help you practice the language. Knowing multiple languages will make you a better programmer, a better problem solver, and more marketable. Plus, it’s fun!

Programmer Passport is:

  • A subscription based model
  • Introducing new programming languages
  • On a two month cadence
  • Providing proprietary books, videos and projects
  • And other curated resources for learning a language

Languages covered or confirmed so far:

  1. Crystal
  2. Pony
  3. Prolog 1/15/2020
  4. Elixir 3/16/2020
  5. OTP 5/15/2020

This is the first time we’ll have the first section available for free. I hope some of you can join us for the whole Prolog section. The video tells a bit about my encounter with Joe around Prolog. Give it a look. https://youtu.be/y-lup-J-TBc

If it looks interesting, come join us tomorrow (and for the next six months) while we do our Joe Armstrong tribute.

Good suggestion. We initially thought it would be more interesting for developers to work through the exercises together. Hindsight based on our early market research.

We’re going to be announcing a reshaping of the pricing model and website soon.

Thanks for your feedback.

Just chiming in to say we’ve done a pretty complete rewrite of the content for elixir/otp/liveview and are working on Livebook right now. The redesign is a significant amount of work, but I think it’s worth it.
