Testimonials
From the creator of the Ash Framework to years of readers across the books and trainings.
"Very cool ❤️. So excited to have more resources for folks to learn and apply Ash! I recommend this book for anyone who wants to use Ash to its fullest extent 🔥"
"So a book from you about Ash? That's an instabuy."
"Just recently paid for your book — looking forward to reading it!"
"I'm excited to read the book 😄"
"The comments in the thread from your other book series are quite positive, so I'll give this a shot."
"I think it's a nice idea to not focus on the UI — it gives you more room to focus on the domain concepts."
"I'm an early buyer of Shankar's books. He made me understand what “context” is all about. Garuda was a real surprise, Ecto clarifies a lot, and the Phoenix book has every little detail for building an ecommerce site. Excellent support too. Highly recommended, 5 stars."
"This book is probably the best book on Phoenix right now."
"I just picked up your books today and I wanted to thank you. I've only been reading for a couple of hours, but I've learned at least 5 things I didn't know about Phoenix before. Well done!"
"Going through the book feels like sitting next to a knowledgeable colleague introducing you to Phoenix. Full of interesting tidbits and explanations about internals — and I appreciate the TDD approach."
"I read only some pages from the first book and skimmed the others, and I can bet it's a great resource for learning Phoenix — it teaches you the framework inside out (as the name says)."
"I learnt a lot from Shankar, especially the insights on how to manage and optimise memory in LiveView. I can't wait to use it at a hackathon next weekend."
"The link_navigate vs link_patch demonstration made it clear to me for the first time, and the security-hole demo on logout was super."

Before Ash, there was Phoenix Inside Out — the four-book series that taught thousands of developers how Phoenix really works, from building production apps with TDD to rebuilding the framework itself. Now available as one Complete Edition package.
