Hello everyone, here is the recent Elixir Mentor podcast episode – thank you @jacobluetzow !
Apologies for the potato quality of my video. My ADSL was apparently synchronized at 0.7 Mbit (!) upload speeds…

Hello everyone – here’s another episode of Leanpub’s “Frontmatter” podcast on the book. This time, it’s less about the content and way more about why and how it was written, and also the psychological aspects of writing such a book, and especially of the last stretch with rounds of QA, rewrites, etc.

Hi everyone, in case you found Northwind Elixir Traders useful in learning Ecto by modeling a toy database and analyzing its toy dataset, I have a new book currently in development with a focus on implementing a full-blown REST API with Phoenix, for a real-world application.
The project of the book is an Elixir/Phoenix re-implementation of the core of ProductItems API (implemented in Python with FastAPI), which has been in productive use at TECTRA Ltd for years now, and since January also at ISATEK (placeholder website made with Phoenix LiveView, only in Greek), where the Elixir/Phoenix API will be used in the future as the Single Source of Truth of product data.
See the other thread: Phoenix Product Codex: Develop and deploy a REST API for Product Data Management with Elixir and Phoenix (self-published/Leanpub).

Just wanted to say congrats on being distributed by PragProg!
I happened to be looking at PragProg’s website and was very confused for a moment when I saw your book on their homepage.
