In this session, we'll be covering the second half of Chapter 2 - "Building blocks" 2.4 - 2.7

Elixir in Action, 2nd edition - by Sasa Juric (2019)
https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action-second-edition
https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/elixir-in-action/9781617295027/

We've chosen this book as an excellent introduction to the Elixir programming language, including OTP. After we establish this groundwork, we plan to proceed to more advanced books such as

  • Designing Elixir Systems with OTP: Write Highly Scalable, Self-Healing Software with Layers (2019)
  • Real-Time Phoenix: Build Highly Scalable Systems with Channels (2020)
  • Concurrent Data Processing in Elixir: Fast, Resilient Applications with OTP, GenStage, Flow, and Broadway (~August 2021)

This is a peer-to-peer reading group for learning and teaching each other programming languages, such as Rust, Go, Elixir, and Scala, and software-related monetary technologies based upon Bitcoin.

For our meetings, we read a chapter from a book we've selected and then present the sections of that chapter to each other, each participant taking responsibility for a section or two. We pause after each section to allow for discussion and questions. At the end of each meeting we decide when we're meeting next. The more you present, the more you learn.

The peer-to-peer learning technique that we use is modeled on the practices of the Stanford Bitcoin Club in early 2018.

The sign-up list to present a section of the chapter to the rest of the group is here - - https://tamalpais.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LosGatosRG/pages/1213497398/Book+16+-+Elixir+in+Action
