I want to read both of these books next, which one I’ll enjoy more and should read first?

(Anyone who read both of these books?)

Which other books have you already read? Depending on what you already have read, one or the other might make more sense.

I have not read either of these two yet, but “Designing Elixir Systems” will definitely be more broad and “Real-Time Phoenix” will be more focused on one topic.

I have read almost all of the books,

I own the following

  1. Elixir in Action, Second Edition
  2. Phoenix in Action
  3. The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook
  4. Functional Web Development with Elixir, OTP, and Phoenix (eBook)
  5. Programming Phoenix 1.4
  6. Programming Ecto

And read the following at SafariBooks/Oreilly Learning,

  1. Programming Elixir 1.6
  2. Introducing Elixir, 2nd Edition

(Note: Back then the Safari Books’ code formatting wasn’t that great. Maybe it’s corrected now).

It depends what You want to learn… I have read both, but they don’t treat the same subject.

As mentionned by @Qqwy, one is more general, while the other is more specific.

Then, I think I’ll read “Designing Elixir Systems with OTP” first.
Thank you @kokolegorille and @Qqwy!
