Elixir and Phoenix Real World Functional Programming

Description

In this course, you will :

• Begin with Elixir and then progress to Phoenix, the next-generation web framework that is set to replace many Ruby, Django, PHP, and even Node deployments.
• The course assumes you have prior experience with basic programming. You'd be fine if you knew a little Python (just the basics: if, while, for, lists, dictionaries, and tuples) or Java.
• aim to give you a sense of the rhythm behind Elixir and Phoenix so that you can understand the philosophy and use it to your advantage Using this method, we can cover the entire spectrum in less than?? hours.
• instead of spending many hours explaining simple concepts, cover various aspects of Phoenix (see detailed outlines below for specifics) in a quick and efficient manner.
