I’m new to Elixir and am:
- Following along with the Elixir/Phoenix Udemy course (about to start the Structs section).
- Working on and off on a small test Phoenix project which provides a very simple API to provide pricing for banners based on material cost and banner area (I used this to try out hosting Phoenix and deploying with releases).
- Saving the Programming Phoenix and Programming Elixir books that I bought at The Pragmatic Bookshelf for after the Udemy course as I think they’ll require more brain power.
- Starting the Elixir exercises at Exercism. (Any comments and/or nitpicking appreciated as I’d always like to know when there are things that could be done better.)
- Thinking about using Phoenix for an upcoming client project or two.
- Trying to interest a relative in Elixir/Phoenix who also wants to do more programming and work on web projects at his place of work, though we’re wary that the in-house team at his workplace may not react well to a functional language as it’s only used ASP/VBscript up until now.
