It’s doable with newer Elixir version, however that requires some extra time and reading documentation. For me it took around 2-3 weeks in the evenings and weekends to complete the course. Very nice explanations and projects. If doing it with a newer Elixir version I’d recommend to first watch the parts at the end that explain the difference with newer versions (folder structure etc.) before diving in.

The course was exactly what I expected. And the teacher is very good. The Elixir sections are fast and thorough. The Phoenix sections are good too, but things slow down a bit for this part of the material – time is taken to introduce Phoenix to someone with little to no experience working with other MVC frameworks. The repo code samples are excellent reference materials.

unfortunately the course is not up to date and the author isn’t responding to questions. Not here and also the discord isn’t helpful. Which is sad, because the first part til Phoenix is very good and enjoyable.

This is a well planned and comprehensive course that covers both functional language theory and its modern applications. In particular, the Phoenix web development lectures were a great bonus addition! Thank you Stephen!

The content is way too old—primarily related to the Pheonix framework.

This course is made for someone with basic coding knowledge. The instructor explains how the frame works in clear, understandable manner. I found this very helpful in learning Elixir and Phoenix. I would like to see this course rewrite for Phoenix in 1.3 version or later.

The course is very practical and the instructor successfully includes great tips in the content, besides great understandings/characteristics of Functional Programming, in many times comparing it to Object Oriented Programming, which was really helpful for me.
The only downside I can mention is that the versions used (Elixir, Phoenix) are considerably outdated.

Taking this course feels good and it feels like I am actually learning how to code. Some major improvement would be appreciated but overall it’s good.

Very slow at the beginning. Too many repetitions on the review section at the start of each session. But eventually getting more interesting as we write more codes. Courses delivered in older version of Phoenix so I have to rewrite in 1.6 with lots of trials and errors here and there. I give 5 stars for the thorough explanation, although I don’t actually need that much talking.

The course is very good for those who started it when it was fresh. It’s now very outdated so you’ll find yourself spending more time trying to figure out how to deal with the new dependencies and versions than actually learning. That wouldn’t be a problem to me if Elixir wasn’t such a difficult language to find things online since it’s not very used. On the bright side, the teacher is very good at explaining, the content is clear and very well detailed but unfortunately I wouldn’t suggest for those are beginning to learn just now. So if you don’t mind scratching your head for hours or days trying to figure out how to make something small work without affecting everything else, this course is very good, otherwise, I’d suggest finding something way more recent.

Unfortunately the Phoenix section is so out of date that you can’t even build an environment for that version anymore. If the course doesn’t get updated, choose a different course. The initial Elixir stuff is good though and the instructor is personable, but more than half the course is deprecated.

I think based on some other resources i explored at the same time i started this course, that some stuff is not quite the right way to do things, plenty of important topics in elixir were left out, as usual, he has a way to explain complex topics in a simple way i think that is the most important thing of all, a react/phoenix course would be nuts!!!!!!
