Hey, big fan of AlchemistCamp! I'd say there's plenty of short snippets on specific functionality of phoenix, but not enough of content on how things fit together (what exactly do you use genservers for, where do you place things in a project, how do you organize your repo queries - do you pass objects or PKs around, how to refactor a complex function, how do nested livecomponents work and what happens to assigns when you route back, what's the difference between live_redirect, push_redirect, redirect etc.) These are the things off the top of my head that I've struggled with, and ultimately built something but in the back of my head I'm not REALLY sure if I did it correctly.
I've also really enjoyed Pragmatic Studio's course on OTP where they build a genserver from scratch, thay was eye opening, a few more in-depth courses would definitely be welcome.
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoThanks for your kind words. I kinda got frustrated with my LiveView series since I started so early when it was in so much flux and have kinda been waiting for it to hit 1.0 before publishing more. One in every four episodes or so was an upgrade of the project and I kept getting incoming email from people trying to follow my series on newer library versions. Agreed on Pragmatic Studio's course. It's probably my favorite video resource for OTP, my favorite overall resource being Saša Juric's book, Elixir in Action.
