Looking for buddy to build stuff together in Elixir

Last date to join: 20th July, 2024

Hello, I'm a software developer with 2+ YOE in Java, and I'm currently learning Elixir as a hobby from "Elixir in Action 3rd edition" and the idea would be to start making small to medium projects/ contributions soon. When it comes to Elixir it's mostly curiosity at the moment, and that good feeling that using the pipe operator gives me - still really haven't gotten used to that type of functional thinking yet. I'm looking for someone like-minded that would like to spend some nights per week (CEST timezone) improving together and just building stuff. This is not limited to Elixir or back-end, if you like front-end we could split duties.

Description

Fully updated to Elixir 1.15, this authoritative bestseller reveals how Elixir tackles problems of scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability.

Thousands of developers have learned to build applications in Elixir by using Saša Jurić’s Elixir in Action. You’ll skip the programming basics or 101 introductions; this book builds on your existing knowledge to get you quickly writing real Elixir code. Along the way, you'll develop an appreciation for, and considerable skill in, functional and concurrent programming.

Inside Elixir in Action, Third Edition you’ll find:

  • Updates for Elixir 1.15
  • Elixir modules, functions, and type system
  • Functional and concurrent programming
  • Introduction to distributed system design
  • Creating deployable releases

Fully updated to Elixir 1.15, this book contains new coverage of working with application configuration and the latest OTP releases. It teaches you the underlying principles and functional concepts of Elixir, and how each piece fits into the bigger picture of building production-ready systems with Elixir, Erlang, and the OTP framework.

About the Technology
With best-in-class fault tolerance and concurrency, a pragmatic approach to functional programming, and the power to operate at scale, Elixir is the perfect choice for mission-critical software. Start reading Elixir in Action, and you’ll quickly understand why Elixir creator José Valim says it “...tops the list” of Elixir books.

Elixir in Action, Third Edition teaches you how to create distributed applications and server-side systems using Elixir and the Erlang VM. This Third Edition from Elixir expert Saša Jurić is fully updated to include the latest features of Elixir 1.15. In it, you’ll master the foundations of the language, discover how the OTP framework minimizes tedious boilerplate code, and explore numerous examples that ensure you’re learning hands-on.

What's Inside
  • Elixir modules, functions, and type system
  • Functional and concurrent programming
  • Introduction to distributed system design
  • Creating deployable releases
