  Erlang/OTP 20.0, Elixir 1.5 and Phoenix framework 1.3 were all released in a timespan of 2 months or so - huge improvements to the already great ecosystem.

      Erlang/OTP 20 came out June 21[0], so about 5 weeks ago. Makes sense though, Eliir 1.5 was waiting for final release of OTP, and Phoenix was waiting on final release of Elixir, but they'd all had very stable preview releases for a while, so it wasn't a ton of work left on any of them, just finalizing and testing I imagine. I'm super excited to get my side project[1] upgraded to 1.5 and see the new dev conveniences!

    The Phoenix team was waiting for Elixir 1.5 to release the new version of the framework (or at least one of the devs said as much in a talk I watched a while ago).

  A good youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFKQ85T69sYhifDHF7dnPgw/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFKQ85T69sYhifDHF7dnPgw/vid... Kind of like a quick guide: https://elixirschool.com https://elixirschool.com http://elixirbridge.org/02_Intro_to_Elixir/01-why-program-why-elixir.html http://elixirbridge.org/02_Intro_to_Elixir/01-why-program-wh... I think Elixir isn't that hard about syntax. Just start to do something and learn it on the go, see how people do it. I have experience with it, quite nice: https://github.com/yeo/betterdev.link/tree/master/community/betterdev https://github.com/yeo/betterdev.link/tree/master/community/...

    Nice resources here.. I'll add this Udemy course to the list: https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootcamp-and-tutorial/learn/v4/overview https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootca... Does anyone have recommendations for specific Phoenix learning resources?

      I've found the guide on the Phoenix website to be enough most of the time.

      Don't sleep on your Erlang literature: Learn You Some Erlang, Erlang in Anger, Design for Scalability with OTP. Also Little Elixir and OTP Guidebook is pretty short. I haven't read it yet, but Elixir in Action is supposed to be very good, too. http://learnyousomeerlang.com/ http://learnyousomeerlang.com/ https://www.erlang-in-anger.com/ https://www.erlang-in-anger.com/ https://smile.amazon.com/Designing-Scalability-Erlang-OTP-Fault-Tolerant/dp/1449320732?sa-no-redirect=1 https://smile.amazon.com/Designing-Scalability-Erlang-OTP-Fa... https://www.manning.com/books/the-little-elixir-and-otp-guidebook https://www.manning.com/books/the-little-elixir-and-otp-guid... https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action

  The Elixir News category on the Elixir Forum (or just the forum itself) is a good place to look for important updates: https://elixirforum.com/c/elixir-news https://elixirforum.com/c/elixir-news
