Learning a new web framework shouldn't become "the project."

You want to build real Phoenix apps.

Those are the projects you're really excited about.

And yet you need a strategy for getting your arms around Phoenix, Ecto, LiveView, PubSub, Presence, and everything else that comes with the amazing Phoenix framework.

Where do you start? What do you need to learn, and in what order? And how do you put that knowledge into practice?

You may have tried winging it. 😬

We've all been there. You work through a hodgepodge of one-off tutorials, watch random hit-or-miss videos, ask an AI for an assist, and so on.

It may feel like progress, but you know better.

All that jumping around leaves gaps in your skills.

So when you try to build a complete Phoenix app, you don't know how to put everything together. That's frustrating!

And now it feels like learning the framework has become "the project" itself. 😩

What if you had a rock-solid foundation from the get-go?

Then you could focus less on the "how to build" and more on the "what to build."

You'd have the confidence to wield all the power of Phoenix to build multi-user, interactive, real-time web apps at scale.

You'd be flat-out soaring!

Getting there starts with a structured, systematic way of learning Phoenix that:

builds a full-featured, realistic app

starts from scratch

takes it step-by-step

ramps up smoothly, one concept at a time

clearly and concisely explains everything

covers the entire stack

No more gaps. Everything would finally click into place. 😀

This comprehensive course ticks all the boxes in a fun, engaging way.

It's a complete, coherent learning experience:

Watch a short live-coding video

Visualize key concepts through animations

Practice in a project-based exercise

Exclaim"Aha, now I get it!"

Repeat for the next concept

This course has everything you need, sequenced in the right order, and is paced for experienced developers. Nothing is held back: we tackle complex features by breaking down the concepts so everything makes sense.

Get in, get out, and get your project done. 🚀

58 Videos • 9 Hours

We build an app feature-by-feature in the videos so you see and understand exactly how it's done. Each live-coding video is:

tightly-edited to respect your time

straight to the point without any rambling or fumbling

perfectly paced so you're not left behind or nodding off

streamable with English subtitles and also downloadable

Animations

Seeing code is hardly enough. You also gotta see the big picture. All the key concepts are explained through visual animations so you get a solid mental model for how things work.

Exercises & Notes

In the guided exercises following each video, you build a separate Phoenix app from scratch. It has similar features to the app we build in the videos, but it's a different context to tickle your brain. Each hands-on exercise:

immediately reinforces what you learned in the video

includes the solution, of course

spotlights handy tips and tricks

2 Production-Ready Apps

In the end, you have the final source code for two full-featured Phoenix apps to reference when building your own apps. Yay!
