Authors Simon St. Laurent and J. David Eisenberg show you how Elixir combines the robust functional programming of Erlang with an approach that looks more like Ruby, and includes powerful macro features for metaprogramming. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Updated to cover Elixir 1.4, the second edition of this practical book helps you write simple Elixir programs by teaching one skill at a time. Once you pick up pattern matching, process-oriented programming, and other concepts, you'll understand why Elixir makes it easier to build concurrent and resilient programs that scale up and down with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet comfortable with IEx, Elixir's command line interface \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn Elixir's basic structures by working with numbers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover atoms, pattern matching, and guards: the foundations of your program structure \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelve into the heart of Elixir processing with recursion, strings, lists, and higher-order functions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate Elixir processes and send messages among them \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore and manipulate structured data with Erlang Term Storage and the Mnesia database \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild resilient applications with the Open Telecom Platform \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031923646615,"sku":"9781491956779","price":1753.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781491956779.webp?v=1769198619","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introducing-elixir-getting-started-in-functional-programming-9781491956779","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
