Building a Phoenix Web Application: Lessons Learned

Elixir and Phoenix are taking the world by storm. Some say Phoenix may be the new Ruby on Rails. Maybe, maybe not. But regardless, it is a very cool platform for building your next big web application quickly and easily. In this presentation, I'm going to introduce you to Phoenix and explain to you why I chose to use it over the other candidates like Ruby on Rails, Node.js/Express, Go, and ASP.NET Core. I'll tell you all about Phoenix's features and how to build web applications with Phoenix. I'll also use my own application to cover the lessons that I learned and best practices in building Elixir and Phoenix applications to help you to plan for building your own.
