Get Elixir Training from Award Winning Author Bruce Tate

In Groxio courses, students go through the core abstractions for the course several times, using techniques like role playing and building simple solutions to build understanding and quick recall. Then, the students use that knowledge to build something nontrivial. Along the way, each student will get several chances to drive with coaching from the instructor and teammates in small groups. In this class, come ready to code. You'll build a project with a small group of other students that will show you how Elixir data structures and functions work. Then, you'll apply what you've learned in projects designed to help you rapidly absorb ideas so you can apply them in a professional environment.

Then, the students use that knowledge to build something nontrivial. Along the way, each student will get several chances to drive with coaching from the instructor and teammates in small groups. Each training is customized based on the progress and desires of the people in the class, so each class is a unique experience. After each session, the class convenes to discuss the techniques they applied.

Groxio courses emphasize breadth over depth. Additionally, Groxio courses will adjust to the skill levels and desires of the students. For these reasons, you should not expect an exhaustive list of language or framework features. Instead, you'll see a short, overarching broad list of objectives.

1. Learn the critical compound key-value, character, and sequential Elixir data structures.
2. Explore Elixir design concepts including function composition, organizational strategies, and Elixir data structures.
3. Explore three different ways to express Elixir high order functions.
4. Understand how Mix works and how to navigate IEx with documentation.
5. Build nontrivial applications without assistance.
6. Explore techniques for dealing with uncertainty.
7. Recognize and avoid blind spots for typical junior and intermediate Elixir developers.

Good training starts with design and abstractions. This course is Groxio's primary Elixir course, covering basic design and abstractions for Elixir and OTP. Starting with the basics for idiomatic Elixir design, the training will take you beyond what you can find in books and online documentation. It will show you critical abstractions like behaviours and inversion of control that are much easier to absorb in a classroom setting. Custom versions of this course come in two to four days.

1. Explore Elixir design concepts including function composition, organizational strategies, and Elixir data structures.
2. Understand processes, message passing, and the Actor-based model in Elixir programs.
3. Handle uncertainty and process machinery in an Elixir boundary layer with and without GenServers.
4. Understand and apply Supervisor configuration.
5. Apply GenServer message passing principles in an Elixir application.
6. Understand why Elixir is a good language for managing concurrency and uncertainty.

LiveView is one of the most productive frameworks ever built, but it's not an easy one to learn. Groxio students overcome this challenge by focusing on abstractions and design. By knowing how LiveView works, it's easier to navigate libraries and documentation. By knowing techniques for layering designs, Groxio students know where to put code and how to build it so it's easier to build, test, and maintain. We spend extra time on the most problematic features, forms and components.

1. Explore Elixir design concepts including function composition, organizational strategies, and Elixir data structures.
2. Work with the LiveView lifecycle, and understand how to layer code so that it works smoothly within such a design.
3. Handle uncertainty and process machinery in a Phoenix context.
4. Understand the role that changesets play in a Phoenix application.
5. Build layered designs in the user interface with components, emphasizing function components.
6. Understand how Phoenix infrastructore works, including endpoints, plugs, and routes.

Phoenix has great breadth as a web development framework. This course focuses on the back end, but also works through components and forms. Functional web and databases frameworks are not easy to learn, though. Groxio students overcome this challenge by focusing on abstractions and design. By knowing how Phoenix works down to individual plugs and connections, it's easier to navigate libraries and documentation. By knowing techniques for layering designs, Groxio students know where to put code and how to build it so it's easier to build, test, and maintain. In this class, we spend a good amount of time on back-end systems, and consuming those within a user interface.

1. Understand and use each of the layers of an Ecto application including schemas, repositories, changesets, queries, and more.
2. Understand the role that changesets play in a Phoenix application.
3. Build a layered design that encompases a functional core and a context.
4. Layer user interface code through the use of components.
5. Understand the layers and flow of Phoenix infrastructure, from endpoints, through plugs, to routers, and controllers.
6. Keep pages up to date with PubSub.
