Hi there! :wave:

@frigidcode and I (but mostly him) have been running an Elixir Book club, we’re almost done with Designing Elixir Systems with OTP so it’s time to choose the next book and we decided to run a poll to figure out what potential attendees are interested in.

Set details:

  • The book club will run every other Sunday starting on Sunday July 18th
  • We will cover two chapters in each meeting
  • Each meeting will be roughly an hour long
  • Meetings will be via video call (currently planning on Google Meet)

Open questions:

  • What book to cover
  • What time of day to meet

What book should we cover next?

  • Elixir in Action
  • Concurrent Data Processing in Elixir
  • Programming Phoenix LiveView

Nice idea. Just wondering, how do you cover the book chapters? Do you read it during the meeting, or folks should read it before the call?

Hi, you should read the chapters before the meeting. We will be covering two chapters in each meeting but meeting every other week. This first meeting was more of a kickoff so we’ll be covering the first two chapters two weeks from now.
