Here are a few of mine (in no particular order):

  • dbg and other debugging (how to read errors)
  • shine the light on the code
  • using the inspector to debug CSS + HTML.
  • observer
• [ ] Circular Buffers
• [ ] Advanced Livebook + Mermaid (add mermaid live editor)
• [ ] NIFs
• [ ] LiveViewNative tutorial

@BrooklinJazz I think it would be awesome to include more support for using APIs, especially generative APIs like GPT, Whisper and PaLM . While the curriculum briefly covers working with APIs, more examples and exercises with "real-life" APIs would be incredibly beneficial for students. I would love to contribute to this effort with your guidance. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Hey Swamy!

We've started running a Friday morning advanced elixir developers meeting to cover topics like these. If it works for your schedule, I would love to see you there! We're using those meetings to help refine and practice teaching these bonus-topics.

If you're interested in helping out with APIs I have a ticket to change HTTPoison in the API reading -> Finch and Poison -> Json.

#828

Simultaneously this would be a good opportunity to redo the material and include more real-life APIs.

What real-life APIs do you think would be a good fit?

I've only skimmed the curriculum, but would love to know if Nerves is in there. I would like to work on automation/ioT projects with Raspberry Pi, for example.

Really cool! We don't cover Nerves and instead focus on web development.

However, I think that would make for an interesting bonus topic to have an intro to nerves. Adding it 🙌
