Buy the Book"Joe has given Elixir developers the toolkit we didn't know we needed. This isn't abstract functional programming theory; it's the practical foundation that transforms how you solve complex problems and how your team thinks about solutions together." — Nicholas Henry
"The Effect monad chapter alone is worth the price. Instead of Tasks firing off immediately, you can build them up, compose them, and run them when you're ready. This isn't theory—it's practical FP that solves real Elixir problems." — Jacob Luetzow, Elixir Mentor
Start with solid fundamentals. Master Eq, Ord, and domain modeling to build the foundation that everything else depends on.
Build on your foundation. Learn to compose patterns systematically, handling complexity step by step without getting lost.
Apply everything you've learned. Master advanced patterns and make confident architectural decisions for production systems.
Every code example is ready to run so you can spend less time on setup and more time understanding. No friction, more practice—focus on the patterns while the notebooks handle the rest.
If you're an Elixir developer with some experience, or a functional programmer curious how Elixir handles real‑world complexity, this book is for you. You'll dive into advanced abstractions (equality, order, monoids, monads) and see how to model behavior, structure systems, and maintain code as it grows.
If you've tried functional programming before but felt stuck, this will help ground things. If you're curious but new, you'll still get clarity.
