Programming Elixir 1.3: Functional: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Programming Elixir 1.3: Functional" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Explore functional programming without the academic overtones (tell me about monads just one more time). Create concurrent applications, but get them right without all the locking and consistency headaches. Meet Elixir, a modern, functional, concurrent language built on the rock-solid Erlang VM. Elixirs pragmatic syntax and built-in support for metaprogramming will make you productive and keep you interested for the long haul. Maybe the time is right for the Next Big Thing. Maybe its Elixir. This book is the introduction to Elixir for experienced programmers, completely updated for Elixir 1.3.

Functional programming techniques help you manage the complexities of todays real-world, concurrent systems; maximize uptime; and manage security. Enter Elixir, with its modern, Ruby-like, extendable syntax, compile and runtime evaluation, hygienic macro system, and more. But, just as importantly, Elixir brings a sense of enjoyment to parallel, functional programming. Your applications become fun to work with, and the language encourages you to experiment.

Part 1 covers the basics of writing sequential Elixir programs. Well look at the language, the tools, and the conventions. Part 2 uses these skills to start writing concurrent code-applications that use all the cores on your machine, or all the machines on your network! And we do it both with and without OTP. Part 3 looks at the more advanced features of the language, from DSLs and code generation toextending the syntax.

This edition is fully updated with all the new features of Elixir 1.3, with a new chapter on Tooling, covering testing (both conventional and property based), code and dependency exploration, and servermonitoring.By the end of this book, youll understand Elixir, and know how to apply it to solve your complex, modern problems.

What You Need:
Youll need a computer, a little experience with another high-level language, and a sense of adventure. No functional programming experience is needed.

Early praise for the original Programming Elixir

Dave Thomas has done it again. Programming Elixir is what every programming book aspires to be. It goes beyond the basics of simply teaching syntax and mechanical examples. It teaches you how to think Elixir.

Bruce Tate
CTO, icanmakeitbetter.com; author

In Programming Elixir, Dave has done an excellent job of presenting functional programming in a way that is fun, practical, and full of inspirational insights into how we can rethink our very approach to designing programs. As you progress through the book, you will often find yourself smiling after discovering a certain aspect of Elixir that lets you do things in a new, more elegant way that will almost seem too natural and intuitive to have been neglected by the programming community at large for so long.

The book provides a detailed overview of Elixir and its tooling, aimed at making the development process smooth and productive. Dave explains the core parts of the Erlang runtime system, such as distribution, concurrency, and fault tolerance, that imbue Elixir with the power to write scalable and resilient applications.

Alexei Sholik

The era of sequential programming is overtodays high-performance, scalable, and fault-tolerant software is concurrent. Elixir is a key player in this new world, bringing the power of Erlang and OTP to a wider audience. Read this book for a head start on the next big thing in software development.

Paul Butcher
Author of Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks

Just like the Pickaxe book for Ruby, this book is the de facto standard for Elixir. Dave, in his impeccable style, provides a thorough coverage of the Elixir language, including data structures, macros, OTP, and even Dialyzer. This book is a joy to read, as it walks the reader through learning Elixir and the thought processes involved in writing functional programs. If you want to accelerate your mastery of the Elixir language, Programming Elixir is your best investment.

Jim Freeze
Organizer of the worlds first Elixir Conference

This will undoubtedly become the Pickaxe for Elixir. Thomas excitedly guides the reader through the awesomeness of Elixir. Worth picking up for anyone interested in Elixir.

Dan Kozlowski

Programming Elixir is another smash hit from Dave Thomas. Prior to Programming Elixir I tried my hand at several functional programming languages only to trip all over myself. You can feel Daves enthusiasm and joy of using the language in each and every chapter. He will have you thinking about solving problems in ways you never thought of before. This book has drastically changed the way I think about programming in any language for the better.

Richard Bishop

Ive really enjoyed this book. Its not just some whirlwind tour of syntax or features; I found it to be a very thoughtful introduction to both Elixir and functional programming in general.

Cody Russell

Foreword

I have always been fascinated with how changes in hardware affect howwe write software.

A couple of decades ago, memory was a very limited resource. It madesense back then for our software to take hold of some piece ofmemory and mutate it as necessary. However, allocating this memory andcleaning up after we no longer needed it was a very error-pronetask. Some memory was never freed; sometimes memory was allocated overanother structure, leading to faults. At the time, garbage collectionwas a known technique, but we needed faster CPUs in order to use it inour daily software and free ourselves from manual memorymanagement. That has happenedmost of our languages are nowgarbage-collected.
