This book is intended for users with some knowledge of the Elixir language syntax and basic data types/structures. Although this is a cookbook and no sequential reading is required, the book’s structure will allow less advanced users who follow it to be gradually exposed to some of Elixir’s features and concepts specific to functional programming. To get the most out of this book, you need to be well versed with Erlang.

Running concurrent, fault-tolerant applications that scale is a very demanding responsibility. After learning the abstractions that Elixir gives us, developers are able to build such applications with inconceivable low effort. There is a big gap between playing around with Elixir and running it in production, serving live requests. This book will help you fll this gap by going into detail on several aspects of how Elixir works and showing concrete examples of how to apply the concepts learned to a fully fledged application. In this book, you will learn how to build a rock-solid application, beginning by using Mix to create a new project. Then you will learn how the use of Erlang's OTP, along with the Elixir abstractions that run on top of it (such as GenServer and GenStage), that allow you to build applications that are easy to parallelize and distribute. You will also master supervisors (and supervision trees), and comprehend how they are the basis for building fault-tolerant applications. Then you will use Phoenix to create a web interface for your application. Upon fnishing implementation, you will learn how to take your application to the cloud, using Kubernetes to automatically deploy, scale, and manage it. Last, but not least, you will keep your peace of mind by learning how to thoroughly test and then monitor your application.

Erlang is a development platform, proven in large systems for more than two decades, that offers highly-efficient concurrency, scalability, and fault-tolerance. Elixir is a modern programming language that takes advantage of the Erlang Virtual Machine without the complex syntax and conventions of the Erlang language. The Elixir language offers Ruby-like elegance along with the ...(展开全部)

在了解 Elixir 前，在网上看到一些评论说， Elixir 其实就是用 Ruby 的语法来编写 Erlang 程序。其实不然。真正玩了 Elixir 之后，就会发现这纯属幻觉。因为 Elixir 相对于 Ruby 使用了截然不同的语言范式——函数式编程。两者在编程思想上相距甚远。如果说它看似 Ruby ，也仅仅是 Elixir 设计者 José Valim ，一个 Ruby 开发者的情怀使然罢了。 Elixir 只是在 Erlang 之上加入的一层语法糖，在不改变 Erlang 开发实践的基础上，还能重用已有的 Erlang 代码。然而这层小小的语法糖却给内心坚若磐石但语法苦涩难懂的 Erlang 增添了一副平易近人的外表。虽然函数式编程并非新鲜事物，而 Elixir 则让函数式编程更现代化。 原著作者就是 15 年前编写了 Programmin...(展开全部)
