Your Direct Path to Mastery with Funx

Structured Learning Path

✓ Sequential progression from fundamentals to advanced patterns
✓ Clear guidance on when and how to apply each concept
✓ Examples you can run, experiment with, and adapt—so you internalize, not just read
✓ Built on the production-ready Funx library so you see working code, not abstractions in isolation

Why Structure Matters

✓ Prevents the endless wandering that wastes learning time
✓ Builds knowledge systematically, layer by layer
✓ LLMs can help you practice—this book gives them the structure to help you learn

Progressive Learning Path

🟢 Foundation

Start with solid fundamentals. Master Eq, Ord, and domain modeling to build the foundation that everything else depends on.

🟡 Composition

Build on your foundation. Learn to compose patterns systematically, handling complexity step by step without getting lost.

🔴 Production & Architecture

Apply everything you've learned. Master advanced patterns and make confident architectural decisions for production systems.

Interactive Notebooks: Skip the Typing, Start the Learning

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.

Who This Book Is For

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.
