The Phoenix Developer's Handbook: Build Modern, Real-Time Web Applications with Elixir and the Phoenix Framework

By Dennis Edison

The Phoenix Developer's Handbook is a comprehensive, hands-on guide to building robust, scalable, and real-time web applications with Elixir and Phoenix. Whether you're transitioning from a traditional MVC framework or starting fresh, this book walks you step-by-step through everything you need to know-from routing and data handling to authentication, LiveView, and deploying your app to production.

Written by an experienced software engineer who has architected and deployed Phoenix applications in real-world environments, this book emphasizes clean code, proven design patterns, and best practices. It's not a surface-level overview-it's a complete and practical resource for building modern web systems that scale.

About the Technology:
Phoenix is a fast, fault-tolerant, and developer-friendly web framework built on the Elixir programming language. It brings together the speed of Erlang's BEAM VM, functional programming, and first-class real-time capabilities with Channels and LiveView. It's the go-to choice for developers building concurrent, stateful, and performant applications.

What's Inside: Building intuitive routes, templates, and interactive user interfacesManaging data with Ecto: schemas, changesets, queries, and validationAuthentication and role-based authorizationReal-time features using Channels and LiveView without writing JavaScriptSecure APIs with JWT, versioning, and namespacingFull test coverage with ExUnit, LiveView tests, and mocksTelemetry, monitoring, and observability in productionDeploying with mix releases to Fly.io, Gigalixir, or Heroku
Who This Book Is For:
Ideal for backend developers, full-stack engineers, or any programmer with basic web development knowledge who wants to embrace the power of functional programming and build fast, resilient applications. Whether you're coming from Rails, Django, Node.js, or Laravel, this book helps bridge the gap to Phoenix with real-world examples and working code.

Phoenix and Elixir are gaining momentum in high-concurrency environments, from startups to fintech platforms. If you're not learning this stack now, you're falling behind in the evolution of web development that values speed, reliability, and real-time communication.

This isn't months of theory. With focused chapters and ready-to-run code samples, you can build your first Phoenix app and deploy it within days-not weeks. Everything is designed to deliver quick wins while building lasting expertise.

This book is more than just instruction-it's a full development reference. With real code, full-stack patterns, and guidance from local development to production deployment, you're gaining a toolbox that will serve you across multiple projects and teams.

Don't just build web apps. Build faster, safer, and smarter with Phoenix. Get your copy now and take your skills to the next level-starting today.
