Description

Elixir's functional nature and metaprogramming capabilities make it an ideal language for building web frameworks, with Phoenix being the most ubiquitous framework in the Elixir ecosystem and a popular choice for companies seeking scalable web-based products. With an ever-increasing demand for Elixir engineers, developers can accelerate their careers by learning Elixir and the Phoenix web framework. With Build Your Own Web Framework in Elixir, you’ll start by exploring the fundamental concepts of web development using Elixir. You'll learn how to build a robust web server and create a router to direct incoming requests to the correct controller. Then, you'll learn to dispatch requests to controllers to respond with clean, semantic HTML, and explore the power of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) and metaprogramming in Elixir. You'll develop a deep understanding of Elixir's unique syntax and semantics, allowing you to optimize your code for performance and maintainability. Finally, you'll discover how to effectively test each component of your application for accuracy and performance. By the end of this book, you'll have a thorough understanding of how Elixir components are implemented within Phoenix, and how to leverage its powerful features to build robust web applications.

Like I said in title, as you can generally expect from PacktPub, there are typos GALORE in this book. Usually the accompanying repo can guide you through it, but sometimes it's quite the headache. Nonetheless I gave the book four stars because it's a pretty interesting take on picking up Phoenix. I've never really made a Phoenix project yet but decided to start here, and it's fairly rewarding to build it up this way.

The book is well written. Explains the concepts in a concise and easy-to-understand way. It is easy to read and follow. All of the code fragments I tested compiled successfully and worked correctly. It is a great in-depth introduction to the Elixir Phoenix framework and what's under the hood.

I often read tech books to learn a new skill or rehash an older subject, and generally I do enjoy them. However, I was grinning ear to ear with this one.As a seasoned Elixir engineer, primary focused on web technologies, I have a comprehensive understanding of the underlying machinery of, say, Phoenix. Though I often want to peek under the hood, and that’s what this book does.Aditya expertly guides you through the foundation and frameworks powering our web applications from scratch. It’s an excellent vantage point.Aside from that, his elegant style is something I’ll no doubt borrow in my own code.If you’re an Elixir dev searching for a new book, after having read them all, look no further.

The author starts with a review of how a web server is built, followed by controllers, routers and serving HTML. From there the book gets into metaprogramming and wraps all the functionality into a nice readable interface. All of this is done while learning how to test everything. Highly recommended for anyone looking to gain deeper insight on how Phoenix works!

Disclaimer: I received an early review copy PDF of this book for review purposes but did not receive any compensation for this review.There's an increasing number of educational programming content along the lines of "Build Your Own X." Think, "Build Your Own React," "Build Your Own Operating System," and so on. In most cases, these are great ways to practice programming skills using a concrete problem with many example implementations.With "Build Your Own Web Framework in Elixir," Adi has created an excellent new entry in this genre. It's more than a simple "copy this code and run it" tutorial that ends up with some "finished" project. It's carefully architected and goes through the core building blocks of Elixir for web/backend development from :gen_tcp to Ranch to Cowboy to Plug, all to teach the reader how to build frameworks like Phoenix. It goes into great detail about creating a custom metaprogramming DSL in an easily-digestible way while also covering useful utilities for introspection and testing.Overall, I highly recommend this book for Elixir developers who are familiar with the concept of web servers. My recommendation applies even more to Elixir developers who are comfortable with Phoenix but want to learn more about how frameworks like it are designed and built.
