Elixir gives you Ruby-like elegance with the power to develop bulletproof distributed server systems that can handle massive numbers of simultaneous clients and run with almost no downtime.\n\nAbout the Book\n\nElixir in Action teaches you how to solve practical problems of scalability, concurrency, fault tolerance, and high availability using Elixir. Youll start with the language, learning basic constructs and building blocks. Then, youll learn to think about problems using Elixirs functional programming mindset. With that solid foundation, youll confidently explore Elixirs seamless integration with BEAM and Erlangs powerful OTP framework of battle-tested abstractions you can use immediately. Finally, the book provides guidance on how to distribute a system over multiple machines and control it in production.\n\nRequires no previous experience with Elixir, Erlang, or the OTP. Written for readers who are familiar with another programming language like Ruby, JavaScript, or C#.\n\nWhats Inside\nPractical introduction to the Elixir language Functional programming idioms Mastering the OTP framework Creating deployable releases\nAbout the Author\n\nSaša Jurić is a developer with extensive experience using Elixir and Erlang in high-volume, concurrent server-side systems.\n\nTable of Contents\nPART 1 THE LANGUAGE First steps Building blocks Control flow Data abstractions PART 2 THE PLATFORM Concurrency primitives Generic server processes Building a concurrent system Fault-tolerance basics Isolating error effects Sharing state PART 3 PRODUCTION Working with components Building a distributed system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256674377781,"sku":"ByrdShop_161729201X","price":33.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781617292019_2f21bfaa-439a-44c5-873b-005d151343d9.jpg?v=1779960181","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/elixir-in-action-9781617292019","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
