Hi there,

I watched the “Getting started with Phoenix” course and I found it very useful for a beginner like me. It teaches the fundamentals of Phoenix and with this course, I could set up and started to implement my own solution. Though it is not suited for intermediates nor experts, I think it provides useful informations while beginning with Phoenix.

At the time I wrote the course I knew 1.3 was coming out, but I didn’t know when. It uses an umbrella project, and was modeled off of the --umbrella option of phoenix.new that was on the 1.3 branch back in November time frame. This was all to help make the transition to 1.3 easier.

The course doesn’t use generators nor does it use the models folder in the Phoenix project. The latter it calls out specifically.

That said, I need to review the changes between 1.2 & 1.3 and see what would actually change in the course.

btw, I’m also @taylonr on here, so I can always be tagged in a post (or you can reach me on twitter, or gmail with the same handle.)

I haven’t seen any mention of that yet. I hope so

Maybe you can ask the author, Nathan Taylor (@taylonr on twitter).

It’s your call, but I think you’d be fine watching the course even without the 1.3 updates. It focuses on principles, and those didn’t change between 1.2 & 1.3. From a quick look over lunch, it looks like it new folder structure (under lib instead of parallel to lib) and the new generators are the biggest changes.

Also, I’m not sure what the turn around time would be if I did update to 1.3. Not just with me, but with Pluralsight in general.
