Off-tangent, but I’ve been using Grider’s courses on ES6 and React to brush up my Javascript knowledge as well. Good stuff.

I love that you take 1.3 into consideration! It’s gonna be a great update and as it should be out before the end of this year, it might be acceptable to wait for new episodes until then.
Please cover OTP, as it might be one of Elixir’s main selling points. For me, it’s not that easy to understand, and your pragmatic teaching style might help a lot 
1.5x is perfect

You should really cover OTP. It’d be a tragedy for Elixir/Phoenix to be full of devs who don’t know or bother learning the platform and just know phoenix_new.

I do agree with this. I’ve got a couple ideas for interesting OTP projects to tack on to the end.

I have finished the udemy course. For me, its really easy to understand because of the author like to explain the little things in details. cant wait for the update.

Also bought the course. I think its good because it explains very simply and clearly the language aspects that you need to get comfortable in order to proceed with more specific Elixir and advanced topics (ie. OPT and processes).
Good job, Stephen!

I was listening to the preview OO vs functional section and there is one thing I was wondering about. Isn’t it a bit confusing for people from an OO background to call functions in modules for methods? Because they are not methods. Which is what the section is about.

There is also confusion with objects/structs and a few other things iirc Robert. @StephenGrider, can you please confirm whether you will be re-recording parts of the course where these are amended please? Functional programming is a big shift for many and incorrect terminology makes things more confusing than it needs to be.

Yes, I’ll be addressing that with the Phoenix 1.3 update. I’m normally a stickler on terminology, so saying ‘object’ everywhere was uncharacteristic. Learning this stuff is hard enough already, so using precise terminology is key!
