Eternity Elixir

If you're new to Elixir, you'll get step-by-step guidance in an engaging format you won't find anywhere else. If you have experience with Elixir, you'll gain a deeper understanding of things you've been taking for granted and fill in any knowledge gaps.

Ruby vs Elixir (Phoenix). Those two excellent programming languages with distinct use cases. Check which one to choose and when. Elixir is built on top of the Erlang VM (virtual machine) – the language itself was invented and co-created by José Valim, a well-known Ruby developer and creator of many great gems (libraries in Ruby parlance) such as Rails or Devise.

Авторы расскажут, как Elixir сочетает в себе надежность языка функционального программирования Erlang с подходом, который больше похож Ruby, а также мощную поддержку макросов для метапрограммирования.

You know how to code in Elixir; now learn to think in it. Learn to design libraries with intelligent layers that shape the right data structures, flow from one function into the next, and present the right APIs. Embrace the same OTP that's kept our telephone systems reliable and fast for over 30 years. Move beyond understanding the OTP functions to knowing what's happening under the hood, and why that matters. Using that knowledge, instinctively know how to design systems that deliver fast and resilient services to your users, all with an Elixir focus.

This book is the introduction to Elixir for experienced programmers, completely updated for Elixir 1.6 and beyond. Explore functional programming without the academic overtones (tell me about monads just one more time). Create concurrent applications, butget them right without all the locking and consistency headaches. Meet Elixir, a modern, functional, concurrent language built on the rock-solid Erlang VM. Elixir's pragmatic syntax and built-in support for metaprogramming will make you productive and keep you interestedfor the long haul. Maybe the time is right for the Next Big Thing. Maybe it's Elixir.
