Elixir chat tutorial is outdated

Open biko-the-bird opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

The chat tutorial listed for elixir is outdated. It uses a old version of phoenix and could be confusing to new users who would be learning a oudated set of syntax, application structure, commands i.e. mix phoenix.create vs. mix phx.create.

Also it's missing some steps. For one this they never do mix ecto.create without which the postgres database is not initialized so the app doesn't work.

I'm suggesting that the tutorial be removed or flagged to indicate it is outdated

Okay will figure out a label. Thanks for the heads up!

Found a better tutorial (screencast format).

Shall I make a pull request?
