Elixir and Phoenix: Real World Functional Programming (Udemy.com)

I already have some basic knowledge of python. Dr. Nauman teaches the elixir, compairing with the python syntax. Also motivating with the case studies which makes the Elixir an efficient and powerful emerging functional programming language

I like the course. I feel that it greatly speeds up my initial learning of Phoenix. One downside is that it explains Phoenix 1.3, and the current version is Phoenix 1.7. Things have changed a lot, directory structure of the project is different so I had to do some digging to modify the instructions from the course.

Very good course, everything I expected and paced very well even if you're totally new to Elixir. I used this course to develop an RSVP website for my wedding coming up this summer - and I haven't touched any web development for about 20 years so have little to no knowledge of anything web related. I managed to meet and achieve my goals easily thanks to the productivity of the phoenix framework combined with this course to just speed learn what I needed. Very pleased. Only suggestion, and it's quite small, is that it could do with updating for the latest version of phoenix 1.7 as some things have changed quite a bit e.g. there aren't really views any more. If you're willing to do a bit of reading around each section and discover the appropriate changes it's not difficult to adapt the content to the latest version though.

Overall great course that gave what I expected. I already have a Ruby background so it was manageable to more or less follow along, but I would say that for a complete beginner with no prior MVC experience, this course might be a bit too much to handle due to the rapid pace and usage of several unexplained concepts. With that said, I'm very happy with the purchase!

The course mostly reiterates the official Phoenix docs. While it's nice to have someone pick out the "important parts" for you I was hoping for a lot more. It's also getting a bit out of date, and would benefit from an update since there's quite a few things that have changed.

This course covers a lot of material quickly. Perhaps too quickly. Especially towards the end there is a lot of hand-waving and fast talking. And bugs. That said, I got a pretty good feel for Elixir and Phoenix. The instructor is clearly comfortable working in this system and conveys his enthusiasm for the subject. I would have liked to have more (any!) comments in the code and more explanation of the 'magic' behind the scenes. In particular, a system like Phoenix depends on a lot of naming conventions for filenames and this was not well explained. The instructor responded quickly to questions.

Fast paced but clear course. Not for newbies. You should be familiar with some OOP language like Python or Java (references to Python are made by instructor quite often). Definitely worth money spent.

Very clean, concise and well organized. Perfect for someone with a relatively strong OOP background who wants a brief intro to Elixir and Phoenix, but probably not the best option for someone who is totally new to programming.

Good content and easy to follow, but be prepared for many references to Python - at least in the beginning. Course moves along quickly, but has been just the introduction to Elixir I was hoping for.

Excellent intro to Elixir and Phoenix. Short and sweet. I was looking for something just like this. I really like the way the instructor focuses on the benefits of Elixir and Phoenix instead of just explaining how to do something. Great mix of how with why ... The instructor also doesn't spend too much time on the basics -- this is good because I don't want to spend too much time going over basic programming concepts. Highly recommend this course!
