don't let the title fool you - the first half of the book is just elixir

over the past 8 years this is the book i've used to ramp back up on elixir and it works like a charm every time - i've never finished it

for me, a mark of a good programming book in this tutorial-project style is that I have started it half a dozen times and never finished it because at some point before the end I've been equipped w/ the tools to go off and do my own thing

FYI, that’s currently available in a Humble Bundle with 16 other PragProg functional programming books: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/ultimate-functional-progr...

Yea I've worked through Elixir in Action and appreciate all book recommendations. My issue is, tutorial style books rarely cover security related concerns.

I've heard that Phoenix has changed a lot since that book was written. How relevant are those framework specific parts still?
