Phoenix is a modern web framework built for the Elixir programming language. Elegant, fault-tolerant, and performant, Phoenix is as easy to use as Rails and as rock-solid as Elixir's Erlang-based foundation. Phoenix in Action builds on your existing web dev skills, teaching you the unique benefits of Phoenix along with just enough Elixir to get the job done.

Foreword by Sasa Juric, author of Elixir in Action, Second Edition.

Phoenix in Action is an example-based book that teaches you to build production-quality web apps. You'll handle business logic, database interactions, and app designs as you progressively create an online auction site. As you go, you'll build everything from the core components to the real-time user interactions where Phoenix really shines.

What's inside:

- Functional programming in a web environment
- An introduction to Elixir
- Database interactions with Ecto
- Real-time communication with channels

For web developers familiar with a framework like Rails or ASP.NET. No experience with Elixir or Phoenix required.
