Are you tired of building fragile applications that break under load? Do you spend more time worrying about race conditions and thread safety than you do building features? The applications we need to build today—real-time apps, high-traffic APIs, and services that simply can't go down—are pushing traditional languages to their limits.
This book shows you a better way. It's a journey into a different way of thinking, rooted in the Actor Model and the powerful "let it crash" philosophy. Instead of defensively coding against every possible error, I'll show you how to build systems that are designed for failure—systems that heal themselves, that manage state safely, and that scale with an elegance you've never experienced before.
What's inside
This book is a hands-on workshop, not a dry manual. I will guide you through:
- Thinking Functionally: Master the core concepts of immutability, pattern matching, and the elegant pipe operator.
- Harnessing Concurrency: You won't just learn about Elixir's lightweight processes; you'll use them to handle thousands of simultaneous tasks with ease.
- Building with OTP: Go from raw processes to the industrial-strength Open Telecom Platform (OTP). You'll master GenServer to manage state and Supervisor to build self-healing applications.
- Project 1: A Concurrent Key-Value Store: Apply your new OTP skills to build a high-performance, in-memory database from scratch.
- Going Distributed: Learn to connect multiple Elixir nodes into a single cluster and see the magic of location transparency in action.
- Capstone Project: A Distributed Chat App: Build a complete, real-time chat application that runs across multiple servers, proving you have what it takes to build truly modern systems.
This book is written for you, the practicing developer.
If you're coming from Python, Ruby, Java, C#, or JavaScript, you already know how to build software. You're just wondering if there's a better way to handle the growing demands of concurrency and reliability. You don't need any prior Elixir or functional programming experience—just a curious mind and a desire to build applications that are fast, scalable, and practically unbreakable.
Stop just reading about concurrency and start mastering it. This is your chance to learn the "secret" that powers some of the world's most reliable systems.
Get your copy of Elixir Programming: A Hands-On Guide today and start building applications that are truly built for the modern, distributed world.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
