Caleb Porzio, creator of Alpine.js and Laravel LiveWire, and David Bernheisel are going to live code, shoot the breeze, try to create an application, and celebrate each others’ development ecosystems.

David is going to use the Elixir language with Phoenix and LiveView, and Caleb is going to use the PHP language with Laravel and LiveWire (which he created and was inspired from LiveView).

Follow @calebporzio and @bernheisel on Twitter for updates on the livestream.

It’s been over a year and a half since I first published this Phoenix LiveView tutorial. Since then a lot has changed with the library. I’ve now updated the entire tutorial to work with Phoenix 1.5 and Phoenix LiveView 0.14. The new generators will let you get up and running a lot faster, and I’ve managed to make the video ten minutes shorter than before. Please let me know what you think!

We reject the idea that people are either logical or artistic but not both. She shares her journey, what it was like learning Elixir as a first programming language, creating generative art using Elixir and LiveView, and much more!

Azure is not yet as popular cloud provider, so the community attention and support is a bit scarce. I wrote how to take advantage of shared access signature (SAS) to implement the typical use case of pre-signing blobs from the Azure object storage.

Toxiproxy is a proxy to simulate network and system conditions. The Elixir API aims to make it simple to write tests that ensure your application behaves appropriately under harsh conditions.

So any time recently that I’ve gone looking for a good overview of supervision trees in Elixir I haven’t found what I want. So I tried to build an example and write a bit about it. Hope it helps people.

In episode 18 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with German Velasco about his free book Test-Driven Development with Phoenix. He shares his experiences of learning TDD at ThoughtBot, his writing process, tips and more. On TDD, we talk about the benefits we see, the process of “Red Green Refactor”, tools and even when we don’t do it. Some great insights!
