To those out there learning from “Programming Phoenix”, although is the best resource for lay of the land of Phoenix, the content is getting out dated with the rise of auth generator and the context model has also changed a lil bit. It takes diligence in following along and referencing the documentation to not get stuck.
Great book though.
- categorybooks 6y agoWhat would you suggest as a more up-to-date alternative?
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoAnything written after 1.3 is almost completely applicable today. The auth generator is just a new feature. Learning how the pieces work from the book is still worthwhile. My advice if you want to avoid confusion as you're learning is to just use the same version of Phoenix the book does! (1.4 in this case) After you go through it, you can follow the official upgrade guides in just a few minutes.
- mercer 6y agoI'll add that learning how to roll your own auth with the book and /then/ using the auth generator is a great learning experience.
