Client server is just another distributed system, lets have a process model that covers them all.

Project is in a very experimental state at the moment, keen to get feedback on the idea/api as I invest more time in extracting the pieces

I started to use Nix instead of asdf to setup the environment for my Elixir projects. After a few weeks of tweakings on different projects, I’ve written an article to share my configurations.

Data is a core part of most software applications. Mapping and querying data from a database is a recurring task in the life of a developer. Because of this, it is important to understand the process and be able to use abstractions that simplify the task.

I just finished a huge refactor of my in-progress Bitcoin node that makes use of recusion to simplify the parsing and serialization of Bitcoin network messages. Check out the full article!

There has been a lot of talk and many slightly outdated posts on handling Elixir configuration, especially in production. So I wrote a few words to clear some things out: https://www.amberbit.com/blog/2018/9/27/elixir-runtime-vs-compile-time-configuration/

NervesHub is an extensible web service that allows you to manage over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for Elixir and Nerves. Built with Phoenix, NervesHub delivers first-class support for hardware deployments directly from the command line.

This episode covers making a Pagination module, and using from controllers and contexts. We’ll build it for our StatWatch project, but the same strategy works for any Phoenix app. We’ll paginate two different views, first a simple index view and then a more complex one where the paginated part is pre-loaded into another schema.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, the panel talks to Chris McCord, the creator of Phoenix. We talk about his new “LiveView” project and what that could mean for development. We get updates on his other projects like Firenest and the upcoming Phoenix 1.4 release, and much more.
