Fundamentals
Professional Elixir 101
Next Course: Call
Elixir is a language with almost magical self healing properties. Its concurrency and reliability features make the language one of the most highest paid ones in the world, and its web frameworks show supreme power and astounding productivity. Before you can learn those tools, you need to know how the Elixir programming language works. Learn the important programming techniques you'll need to get to the good stuff, from data structures to functional programming.

Professional Elixir and OTP
Next Course: Jul 7, 2025
From the book Designing Elixir Systems with OTP, this course will arm you with understanding of the core Elixir abstractions you need to be successful. Going beyond a checklist of features, this class will provide you with systems to understand and instantly recall the important design considerations you need when you're designing any Elixir system, whether you're making a web app or a thermostat.
What to Expect
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.
How It Works
Students work through core abstractions multiple times using role-playing and building simple solutions to develop understanding and quick recall.
Students apply this knowledge to build something substantial, with each person getting multiple opportunities to lead with coaching from instructors and teammates.
Training is customized based on class progress and needs. After each session, the class discusses techniques applied and lessons learned.
Course Objectives
Groxio courses emphasize breadth over depth, adjusting to student skill levels and needs. You'll see key objectives that guide your learning journey rather than an exhaustive feature list.
Explore Elixir design concepts including function composition, organizational strategies, and Elixir data structures.
Understand processes, message passing, and the Actor-based model in Elixir programs.
Handle uncertainty and process machinery in an Elixir boundary layer with and without GenServers.
Understand and apply Supervisor configuration.
Apply GenServer message passing principles in an Elixir application.
Understand why Elixir is a good language for managing concurrency and uncertainty.

Web Development
Professional LiveView
Next Course: Call
From the book Programming Phoenix LiveView, this course will walk you through the strategies you'll need to build flexible, self-healing interactive web applications that scale well and survive the test of time. Focusing on design and abstractions, you'll learn how to layer your code with components and multi-layer APIs using idiomatic generated and custom code.
Framework
Professional Phoenix with Ecto
Next Course: Call
From the book Programming Phoenix, this class is our de facto Phoenix back end course. We'll cover principles for working with multi-layered functional programming systems. On the data side, we'll get to know Ecto query design principles, and how to safely manage change with changesets. We'll work with boundary layers, and explore different ways to deal with failure. We'll explore advanced foundations of Phoenix from PubSub to plugs. This was the most requested course for Groxio to add in 2023.
