Phoenix in Action, Geoffrey Lessel

Summary

Phoenix is a modern web framework built for the Elixir programming language. Elegant, fault-tolerant, and performant, Phoenix is as easy to use as Rails and as rock-solid as Elixir's Erlang-based foundation.

Phoenix in Action

builds on your existing web dev skills, teaching you the unique benefits of Phoenix along with just enough Elixir to get the job done.

Foreword by Sasa Juric, author of Elixir in Action, Second Edition.

About the Technology

Modern web applications need to be efficient to develop, lightning fast, and unfailingly reliable. Phoenix, a web framework for the Elixir programming language, delivers on all counts. Elegant and intuitive, Phoenix radically simplifies the dev process. Built for concurrency, Phoenix channels make short work of developing real-time applications. And as for reliability, Phoenix apps run on the battle-tested Erlang VM, so they're rock solid!
