Part 2. Diving in deep

Now that you know the basics of Elixir and how Phoenix is organized, you’ll get started writing an application—an auction site in the spirit of eBay. You’ll allow users to sign up, log in and out, and create items to bid on, manage their items, and bid on items.

You’ll start by working out and developing the foundation of your application’s business logic. You’ll then methodically build on that and add functionality and a UI to the application with Phoenix. By the end of this part, you’ll know what you need to know to create interactive websites in Phoenix.

You’ll learn how to

• Organize your Elixir/Phoenix application
• Use the command-line tools provided by Elixir
• Declare and use external dependencies
• Securely deal with user information such as passwords
• Maintain a clean database by strategically filtering out extraneous data

There’s also plenty more that part 2 covers. Let’s jump in and get coding!
