I needed to switch & track the multiple Elixir/Erlang versions used in different apps without losing my sanity. Did not want to install multiple managers - one for Elixir, one for Erlang and then Node.js.. So asdf Version Manager to the rescue. It manages versions for all 3 and ruby, postgres etc., Thank you @hashnuke!

I wrote down the steps to setup Elixir, Erlang and Node.js with asdf Version Manager..

As a part of my getting acquainted with Elixir/Phoenix and Elm, I created this app that allows you to play the well-known Concentration (aka Memory) game over the Internet: http://pairs.one/ . It uses Phoenix channels for communication, Redis for state, supports 1-5 players and provides a few awesome visual themes. It requires no registration - just create a new game, share the URL with your opponent, and start playing. With enough interest I might open-source the code (needs a bit of clean-up) - let me know on Twitter!

We already have 50+ nice idiomatic snippets on programming-idioms.org. Would you give a few minutes to add a playground link and/or a documentation link?

We’ve added a Photo Gallery with over 90 shots from our time at Elixir and Phoenix Conf.

The first of a new blog series about designing and building Artificial Neural Networks from scratch in Elixir. http://www.automatingthefuture.com/blog/2016/9/7/artificial-neural-networks-elixir-and-you

A Elixir wrapper that communicates with the Telegram-CLI. https://github.com/ccsteam/ex-telegram-client

Taking lessons from Plug and Ecto let’s examine how these libraries create composable and intuitive APIs that fit well into pipe chains:

Weather
  |> where(city: "Kraków")
  |> order_by(:temp_lo)
  |> limit(10)
  |> Repo.all

Quick Elixir ditty to recursively list the files at a given path (relative or absolute):

defmodule FileExt
  def ls_r(path \\ ".") do
    cond do
      File.regular?(path) -> [path]
      File.dir?(path) ->
        File.ls!(path)
        |> Enum.map(&Path.join(path, &1))
        |> Enum.map(&ls_r/1)
        |> Enum.concat
      true -> []
    end
  end
end

Elixir is a fast growing elegant functional language on top of Erlang VM. One of the most important feature of Elixir is able use OpenTelecomPlatform(OTP) which allows to run concurrent supervised supervisor/workers on the same node and also across multiple machines. And secondly, use the pattern matching to keep code clear and more readable.

ETS tables are ephemeral by nature, but sometimes you want to make sure that they hang around so you can recover from crashes or unexpected circumstances. Sadly, if the ETS owner process dies, your ETS table also falls over.

Eternal stops this from happening, and has been revamped to a (backwards compatible) v1.1 which now supports OTP Supervision trees instead of the clumsy functions allowed previously.
