As an update to my Phoenix Inside Out book, I am happy to announce that a demo site is now available at http://mango.shankardevy.com

This is exactly the same commerce site that you will learn to build when you read my book Phoenix Inside Out apart from learning to build a mini-Phoenix framework and learning Practical Ecto.

Looking forward to your comments!

BTW, I’m extending the pre-order discount until 22nd June. So if you haven’t ordered your copy, order it now.

WebSockex 0.2.0 Released!

This release has some major API changes where callbacks are changed or removed without deprecation.

The affected callbacks are:

• init/2 - Removed in favor of handle_connect/2.
• handle_disconnect/2 - The first argument is now a map.
• handle_connect_failure/2 - Removed with functionality rolled into handle_disconnect/2.

Checkout the v0.2.0 Changelog or the v0.1.3..v0.2.0 diff for more info.

Read about how I fell into the trap of overcomplicating my application with Elixir processes. Always remember that the simplest tool that does the job is probably the best tool for the job.

I released v0.8.0 of Credo, the static code analysis tool emphasizing code consistency and teaching.

This release introduces major internal refactorings which result in less memory consumption and an overall faster analysis. It also deprecates @lint attributes in favor of a comment syntax, which allows users to turn of Credo for specific lines.

For details, please refer to the CHANGELOG.

Sobelow now supports skipping tests on individual functions.

@sobelow_skip ["Traversal"]
def vuln_func(...) do
  ...
end

Additionally, bug fixes and updates result in additional XSS and SQL injection vectors being flagged.
