How much Elixir and Phoenix do you think we need to know before getting started on this book?
Good to hear positive views so far!

Thanks!
You will need to have some experience with Elixir. Reading through the docs on the Elixir site might be enough for some. Otherwise, there are a number of intro level Elixir books out there.
If you have experience with an MVC style web framework, you should be fine on the Phoenix front. If not, the fabulous Programming Phoenix book will more than fill in any gaps.

For this book, I don’t currently foresee significant differences between Phoenix 1.2 and 1.3. We’ll determine how much retrofitting to do as we progress toward completion.

Lance, thank you for your book. It is amazing, I am really enjoying it! Will there be something related on how to persist data? Thank you!

Wow, I really enjoyed what I’ve gone through so far! Was pleased to see a game as an example project, being a game developer myself it boosted my interest a lot Thanks for your work!

Thanks for the kind words @kpanic. Glad you like the book!
I know we won’t cover storing and retrieving application state the way we might with a standard MVC web app. Since the book isn’t in its final form yet, I’m not sure whether we might touch on some form of persistence somewhere. Until it’s done, it’s not done.
