Trying to live up the Django docs is a big challenge given that Django was started by folks at a big newspaper. I think clear documentation is a core value to that project.
I agree that the automatic Hex docs are often a little sparse - they often just document the library API and don't give examples.
If you are trying to port websocket code to Elixir/Phoenix I'd recommend the "Real-Time Phoenix" book (

- sergiomattei 5y agoThanks for the book, added to reading list. Currently working on Programming Ecto, really enjoying it.
- sb8244 5y agoI'm the author of Real-Time Phoenix. I appreciate the commenter's kind words. If you ever need any help with content in the book, or a sounding board for Phoenix questions, feel free to DM me on the forums. I appreciate your points and generally agree with them, even the not-so-good ones.
