Greetings Productive Programmer,

I’ve just launched a new course for building a Medium.com like clone blog application with Phoenix 1.7

Phoenix-1-7-course1200×722 43.3 KB

I highly recommend the courses.

Ryan is skilled at presenting both the technical details and how they fit together in the big picture.
The video and audio quality are top-notch, and the pace is very suitable for writing code simultaneously.

Well done, and I’m glad I purchased lifelong access.

I would love a chapter overview before buying the full course. Is that available?

(Many earlier supporters here actually just got the new course airdropped into their members portal last night! Shoutout to the lifetime supporters thank you!!!)

Awesome, congrats on launching the course. Went ahead and purchased it right away. Timing is just perfect. Considering going back to Elixir/Phoenix and was looking for 1.7 and Tailwind refresher.
