Overview

Elixir Web Development Handbook is a complete, hands-on guide to building the next generation of high-performance web systems using Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView. It takes you from foundational concepts to production-ready deployment, helping you master the principles that make Elixir one of the most powerful languages for modern, scalable, and fault-tolerant web applications. Every chapter blends deep technical insight with practical examples, making it a must-have resource for serious developers aiming to design reliable, concurrent, and resilient web platforms. Written by Corlin Holloway, an experienced software architect and technical author known for producing high-level engineering books, this guide distills years of practical experience into a structured, professional learning journey. The content is not theoretical - it's built around real-world examples, authentic production patterns, and proven workflows used by engineers who build high-traffic, mission-critical systems. Whether you're new to Elixir or transitioning from another web framework, this book gives you expert guidance that reflects the actual challenges developers face in production environments. About the Technology: Elixir is a modern functional programming language built on the battle-tested Erlang VM (BEAM) - famous for powering systems that require extreme uptime, scalability, and reliability. Phoenix extends this power into the web domain, providing a fast, concurrent framework that supports thousands of simultaneous connections. LiveView adds real-time interactivity to the mix, enabling you to build dynamic, reactive interfaces without heavy JavaScript frameworks. Together, these technologies represent the future of backend-driven, real-time web development - where performance and simplicity coexist. What's Inside: Inside this book, you'll learn how to: Master the Elixir language - its syntax, concurrency model, and functional foundations. Build web applications using the Phoenix framework and understand its request lifecycle, controllers, and templates. Manage data elegantly using Ecto, with full coverage of schemas, queries, and validations. Create real-time, interactive interfaces using Phoenix LiveView without complex frontend code. Design fault-tolerant applications using OTP behaviors such as GenServer, Task, and Supervisor. Integrate APIs, manage authentication securely, and harden applications against web threats. Implement CI/CD pipelines, monitor performance, and deploy scalable systems to the cloud. Each chapter includes full working code examples, step-by-step tutorials, and real-world case studies that bring the concepts to life. Who This Book Is For: This book is written for backend and full-stack developers who want to build web systems that scale naturally under load, recover automatically from failure, and handle real-time traffic seamlessly. It's also ideal for engineers who have experience with languages like Python, Ruby, or JavaScript and want to transition into Elixir to leverage its functional design and unparalleled concurrency capabilities. Whether you're building APIs, dashboards, SaaS platforms, or distributed systems, this book gives you the practical foundation to succeed. Take the step toward building faster, safer, and smarter web systems. Elixir Web Development Handbook gives you the complete foundation you need to excel in modern backend engineering. Learn the technology trusted by global platforms for uptime, scalability, and real-time performance - and equip yourself with skills that will remain relevant for the next decade of web innovation. Start your journey today and build the web applications of the future with Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView.
