Hey that’s definitely strange. I checked out B5.0 ePub on Books (iOS 13.1.3) and that page looks correct to me. I wonder if yours somehow generated incorrectly, or if it’s using a font that’s not on your device for some reason. Is there a re-download option?
Alright, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays folks. The B6.0 release just went out today.
Chapter 12 dives into BEAM Scheduler and Garbage Collection basics. You’ll also see an example of how to use the Observer CLI program to view stats of a live BEAM node.
Chapters 13 and 14 are in the hopper and going through review. I imagine we’ll keep with a 2 week schedule for these.
Regarding Kindle formatting issue—I have an open item to convert the figures so that the text appears on Kindle. Hopefully that will be in the next beta.
The final chapters are out in beta. LiveView and React—it’s pretty fun!
The Kindle image issue is fixed in the latest release. I verified locally with an epub reader but I don’t have a proper eink Kindle. If you see any issues with the images, feel free to @me directly or make an errata.
That’s it for now! The book is having some final changes and will then go into the final production process.
Congratulation and thank you! The betas have been great to follow and it’s an incredibly useful book and I love that we are starting to get some more advanced and in-depth books written for Elixir now.
The coupon seems expired… Do you know if there is one available?
I almost buy every elixir related books… I’m interested to add this one and Designing Elixir systems with OTP while I’m here…
I bought it yesterday and the code was expired when I checked out.
I’m nearing the end of Part I and it’s been great. I’ve been using LiveView and admittedly didn’t have a good understanding of the foundations it is built upon so this is filling in the gaps. Looking forward to working all the way through the book!
