Programmer Passport: Liveview

by Bruce Tate

LiveView is the most anticipated Elixir framework yet. The premise is seductive: you can build highly interactive, scalable applications without ever writing a line of custom JavaScript. In this course, we’ll look at the expectations and the realities of LiveView. We’ll look at how it works in broad strokes, and then we’ll look at exactly which data moves between the client and server.

This LiveView series will be a little different from previous offerings. The book will be heavily supplemented by the videos on Grox.io. The book to explore the theory and high-level concepts. You’ll see how Phoenix generates code, learn strategies for designing your own code, and find out how to incorporate many different kinds of events. In the videos, you’ll explore the details through examples. You’ll find out how to do common tasks. Start with the most basic applications so you can work with LiveView without having to focus too much on business logic. Integrate change validation through Ecto changesets without requiring a database. Finally, work with a more complex application for memorizing things.

LiveView is revolutionizing how we work. Come find out why!
