Thank you @zachdaniel. This means a lot to me and to the team that worked on this book. Looking forward to hearing more from you when you complete the book. As I worked on the book, I also realized that there is a great deal of community work that can happen around Ash for everyone’s benefit. I got some ideas here and I will formulate these rough ideas into something concrete and share here soon.

Congratulations & thank you for your hard work.

Very much liking the hybrid approach, logical structure, level of detail and ‘Ash & more Ash’ focus.

Great to have two Ash books (as well as the great official docs) that offer different but complementary ways into Ash world.

@shankardevy Thank you for your hard work in creating this book. I’ve just finished reading it and wanted to express my congratulations. I particularly appreciated the logical structure and the clear focus on Ash concepts and its available capabilities. The explanations of how things work within Ash, such as the implementation of certain macros and keywords, were very insightful.

The only part I found I might need to revisit for better understanding is Chapter 9, “Managing relationships.” I noted that you mentioned this as an area where people sometimes struggle with Ash, so I will certainly review it again with closer attention.

On a more personal note, I think it would be beneficial to include a chapter or appendix at the end that illustrates how the Ash core could be integrated into a Phoenix application. Given that you highlighted the role of Ash as a common misconception, this addition could provide further clarity.

Thank you again for this valuable resource.

Thank you @ghannam80 for this feedback! Nothing else gives more joy and satisfaction than a feedback from a reader like you !

We (me and @nittin ) are honoured and will consider your points on Chapter 9 and suggestions for appendix and will discuss how to address it.

Working slowly through the book: do you have anywhere to post minor errata? e.g. in 3.3.1 you have mix ash.drop &c…

It’s a shame it didn’t become a series.
