In this blog post you can read how to build a self-contained command line application with Elixir, with some help from escript. Check it out here.

I wrote a short tutorial on getting RethinkDB setup with Phoenix http://bit.ly/1PTw18M

I posted a comparison of Dogma and Credo:

I take a deep dive into Elixir’s Collectable Protocol and implement Collectable for some of my modules.

I wrote a post a couple days ago about getting a Digital Ocean droplet prepared for Elixir and Phoenix. I hope you enjoy it!

Setting up Digital Ocean for Elixir and Phoenix

I’ve made an elixirgolf.com web site, to help people learn to code in elixir.

You can submit solutions via twitter.com/ElixirGolf. Many thanks. Ben

I made a little API client for the Ninjaproxies service :)

This time, we utilize Phoenix’s beautiful channels functionality to create a live polling platform!

Short recap of the first day after Credo’s intial release and a huge Thank You! to the community:

In the third post in the series, we create a table process to perform accounting for a poker game, and it uses monitors and messages to coordinate with the child hand process.

My account of last night’s Portland (Maine) Erlang and Elixir meetup. On using Elixir/OTP to give robots the ability to assess their surroundings. We got a robot to become frightened when colliding in the dark. http://jfcloutier.github.io/robotex/#november-17-2015

Integrating Phoenix with React and Redux using channels. A follow-through example, with code.

Have you missed the simple_format Rails helper in your Phoenix project? You no longer have to implement it yourself!

Still not much coding, I was mainly planning the protocol and interaction between nodes. Two classes of events are designed for nodes to be able to join and leave a group and also for advertising their share of the work.

If you want to know why we should educate people instead of shouting at them and how my new tool Credo can help, read the announcement post:

TL;DR Credo is finally out. Get it via Hex and on GitHub.

I wrote an Elixir library to handle non-strict URL operations, including parsing from string, serializing to string, and wildcard-matching different URL components. It’s a rather faithful port of a Ruby Gem I wrote a few months ago.

It’s called Fuzzyurl: https://github.com/gamache/fuzzyurl.ex

Docs here: http://hexdocs.pm/fuzzyurl/0.2.0/Fuzzyurl.html

Hope it’s useful!

I build a package to support 256 ANSI colors for Elixir command-line applications, which will also power the gorgeous UI of Credo once it is released next week.

Get Bunt via GitHub: https://github.com/rrrene/bunt

If you’ve ever used irb, node or pretty much any other command line REPL, you probably really miss being able to use the up and down keys to recall your last commands from a previous session in iex.

Here I’ll show you how easy it is to get this functionality in IEX.

If you haven’t checked out the Atom text editor, now might be a good time. It is opensource, free, cross-platform and works with well for Elixir Development. In this post I show what Packages/Plugins work well and what they do.

What did I learn about linking Elixir processes, with cool visualizations! http://eddwardo.github.io/elixir/links/2015/11/04/links-in-elixir/
