Another great resource that was recently released is the Phoenix Inside Out series by Shankar: https://shankardevy.com/phoenix-book/ I just got it a few days ago and I'm about 30% into the first book. What I can say so far is that the author's approach resonates really well with me. Going through the book feels like sitting next to a colleague, who is introducing you to Phoenix and is really knowledgeable in the topi…

What is Garuda? Just a random title? A library/component in the Elixir ecosystem? It's a strange way to sell a book, when neither the web site selling the book nor googling seem to enlighten me.

Yeah, he should probably change the title from Garuda to something else (even 'Garuda: Learn Phoenix by building it yourself' is better).

I agree with you, I could have explained the book's content and its title a bit more clearer on my website. I will do it sometime soon.

We’ve been using Phoenix at my company in production for over a year now. So far the experience has been overwhelmingly positive, our team have totally come round to its adoption, our server costs have come down and our response times have gone down also.
