ABOUT THIS COURSE

In this course, you will learn how to build real-time applications that will be fast with less resource overhead. Today’s software users expect the data on their screens to reflect instantly. You will win your users’ trust by giving them a seamless application experience powered by real-time features. This course is broken up into three parts. In Part 1, you will focus on the essential part of the real-time stack (Elixir, - Phoenix channels, websockets, and GenStage). This will set the foundation for building real-time applications. In Part 2, you will add features to an e-commerce application that serves many users simultaneously. You will also get to work with some of the more advanced features of Phoenix, such as Phoenix Tracker. In Part 3, you will finish the course with guidance on running real-time applications in production. The battle is only beginning when you write an application. You have to then keep it healthy and happy in production.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
