Preface
Learning Elixir, Phoenix and Ash is a steep climb. No sugar-coating. This book aims to make that ascent less steep. It’s a guide crafted for beginners.
-
A step-by-step guide. While no prior knowledge is required, a basic understanding of programming and HTML will be beneficial.
-
Bite-sized "Hello World!" code examples. Crafted for comprehension just by reading the code, with added notes for clarity. No abstract programming theories.
-
Simplicity is key. My goal is to get you productive ASAP. For in-depth exploration, there are other resources.
-
Not a beauty contest. We’re not investing much time in aesthetics. This is not a CSS design book.
If a section doesn’t resonate with you, skip it. You can circle back later if needed. I recommend reading the book in order, but it’s not required.
