@lance, if you do decide to do a chapter on persistence can you use Mnesia or CouchDB?

I would personally stick to Phoenix defaults (Postgres) as I imagine that’s what most will be using.
Also, re updating to Phoenix 1.3, I would definitely recommend doing so, particularly if there’s not much in it - people love books that cover the latest most up-to-date versions (one of the reasons so many of us love Pragprog, they seem to continually update their books)

I woke up early this morning and got a chance to read a few chapters already before work and after getting home.
Loving the book already lance.
A great perspective, technically and otherwise, (including the flower child version of a wwII era game).

This is an instant purchase because the first chapter is called “Build a Game Engine in Pure Elixir”. I love books that start with non-trivial projects instead of “let’s build a todo list”.

Just purely from a sales perspective, I’d strongly advise you to update it to 1.3. People are going to look at the book, see that Phoenix 1.3 is out and then see the book covers 1.2…and that will make them hesitate. You’re going to have a much longer sales cycle for this one if it gets updated for 1.3.
