@ion - I absolutely plan to expand the course out, but I’m also hedging some risk due to Phoenix 1.3 coming out ‘Soon’. There are enough small changes to make me have to re-record all of the phoenix content I have in there already. After I get that update out, I intend to cover either some JSON API setup or OTP.

Regarding the pacing of the videos: its tough to get pacing video right in an online tutorial. Remember that for everyone who thinks the video is too slow, I have one person who thinks it is too fast :). Best policy is to move a bit slower, and let you use the ‘video speedup’ option if you want to power through it more quickly.

Hey all - Author of the course here

Here’s a coupon code to get it for $10: https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootcamp-and-tutorial/?couponCode=HSALE10

That code will never expire, so feel free to share if if you wish.

@Alchemist - I highly recommend that book, its great for cementing in the fundamentals of Elixir, and it also touches on some of the more useful, but arcane, syntax shortcuts in the language.

There are no objects in Elixir (nor methods). If they are about structs, then they should be referred to as structs (or generally as data) (and use “functions” instead of “methods”).

Yes, I’ll be addressing that with the Phoenix 1.3 update. I’m normally a stickler on terminology, so saying ‘object’ everywhere was uncharacteristic. Learning this stuff is hard enough already, so using precise terminology is key!

I’m going through the phoenix part now. It is very good, but very slow paced at times. Personally, I would prefer if the author focused more on teaching the content rather than spending time on the content being difficult (or not).

I still rate it favorably, though. Good content thus far. I already have some background in Elixir+Phoenix from the respective books. It’s nice to learn from relatively well structured videos.

I hope the author makes an advanced Phoenix video course.

OTP, mnesia, macros, umbrella app structure, maybe even best practices with server side templating (eex) + react + phoenix json api backend.
