Switching to Pyhton for huge mathematical calculations can help your Elixir/Phoenix app in a significant way. Ever encountered such a problem? Don't worry, just learn how to finally make your programming work easier!
This guide to getting started with Phoenix covers getting up and running with Elixir and Phoenix. This is a direct conversion of the Getting started with Rails Guide so it especially suited for you that already knows Ruby on Rails.
The goal of the guide is to teach you:
- How to install Phoenix, create a new application, and connect your application to a database.
- The general layout of a Phoenix application.
- How to quickly generate the starting pieces of a Phoenix application.
