For anyone that loves functional programming, this talk (youtube.com/watch?v=dSMB3rsu…) on inverting a binary tree in one line of Elm taught me more things in 26 minutes than I've learned in entire university courses. @joelquen, this gif is for you!

@mcrumm I really appreciated your Elixir Conf talk on the LV lifecycle. It tied some concepts together for me, and the problem-solving vignettes were a succinct and helpful way to convey info. Nicely done!

If any #elixirlang people are struggling with Ecto queries, it may be because you need more familiarity with its underlying query language, SQL. If so, I can't recommend this tutorial highly enough. Just spend the 4 hours and level up: youtube.com/watch?v=HXV3zeQK…
As a recovering OOP code-slinger who is loving the #elixirlang life:
This looks like my next Rust read. Once again, took a look at the publisher and had no doubt that it will be insanely good:

For my fellow #elixirlang handwritten note enthusiasts on the iPad, "Notability" is second to none for handwriting conversion and general niceties for organizing knowledge. These notes I took for @clarkware's amazing liveview course started out far uglier:
Wowow I finally got a chance to check out #ElixirLang livebook and just occurred to me that it's going to be insanely valuable as a way to try out different abstract ideas and begin to connect them together with notes to myself and others. IEX session on 'roids. I needed this!
Gonna start digging into this bad boy on my spare time. Would love to learn all the cool ways that the OTP library can help me write better #elixirlang software beyond the already-amazing BEAM abstractions like Genserver, etc. I blame @elixir_mix for this.

@lawik is doing a series of videos where he teaches his friend #elixirlang by way of Livebook and the excellent lessons from @elixirschool. It's surprisingly helpful to watch someone else learn and come at the topic with fresh eyes:

If you are looking for a wonderfully complete tour through how a computer actually works from first principles all the way through running a piece of software, "The Secret Life of Programs" from @nostarch is the way to go.
Awesome #elixirlang things: Deep data structure traversal in very little code:

And with that, my very first ever pull request has been completed thanks to @chris_mccord. I believe this contribution will have positive ripple effects throughout the industry, lol. Seriously though, it feels good because I've been intimidated by this stuff for a while. #elixir
Shoutout to @adamwathan and @tailwindcss for just being super dope. Love being able to sit in my HTML and iteratively bang out a unique look and feel for my site while benefiting from a logical design system that abstracts JUST enough away to be maximally useful.
Replying to @sasajuric
@sasajuric Watched your Youtube talk on the BEAM (youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBd…) and it really clarified so much for me. Now I'm reading "Elixir in Action" through O'Reilly and it's amazing. Thank you for everything!
