What is green coding? In this article, we will discuss the principles of green software development and how Elixir can help you write more sustainable code.

Warnings in Elixir are usually an important sign of a problem in the codebase. There is an easy way to make them gone.

Elixir is a hot topic in programming right now. I could tell you all about its benefits, but why don’t we just go ahead and ask this guy who knows everything there's to know?
Meet Michał Buszkiewicz - a Senior Elixir Dev himself! He'll give us his insights on what it means to be a SENIOR Elixir programmer, share some of their favourite features, and talk through how he developed over time (and how you can develop yourself!)

As usual, interesting presentations are waiting for us.

This time our guests and speakers will be:
Mika Kalathil - Multi-node Communication and Strategies
Pedro Paulino - Elixir: Choosing the Right Tool

As a software house, Curiosum specializes in Elixir technology. What do you think about the Elixir Developer career? Read an interview with Szymon and learn how to become a successful Senior Elixir Developer. See also why Elixir's language is so likeable!

Check out an example project that aims to create a Rust NIF that crops an image and makes it grayscale to show you a way to run your Rust code from Elixir efficiently.

Developer time is precious for business💵💴💶
Don't waste it on things that can be easily automated. ❌
One of these things is a part of the code review process - quality checks. ✅
Continuous integration (CI) is where this automation is put in place, and in this article, Szymon Soppa will show you Curiosum's setup.

The cost of developer time is too expensive‼️
You don’t want to waste it☝️

We discussed 2 presentations of our Elixir experts:

* Miguel Cobá: Elixir, Kubernetes and minikube
* Michał Buszkiewicz: A Framework for Unified Authorization in Elixir

By default in the test env, Phoenix doesn't show IO.puts/IO.inspect outputs in the console.
Debugging without access to these two functions may be a pain in the neck. Fortunately, there is a simple solution, you can apply in just a few seconds.

Check our short tips and tricks from the #TodayILearned series!
NEW! How to process Phoenix conn after render before it is sent as a response.
There are a bunch of operations you may want to perform before the rendered response in conn is sent to the client, such as minification. In this post, you can see how to do it easily.

The Elixir language, operating on an Erlang machine, is constantly gaining more and more followers. Where can these languages be used? How was Elixir created and what does it have in common with Erlang?

It wasn't that easy, but we found for you some great examples of eLearning applications made in Elixir. So first - check why is worth it to invest in a custom eLearning app, and secondly - check why Elixir is awesome to create one!

The ability to upload files is a key requirement for many todays web and mobile applications. In this tutorial, we will look at how we can accomplish file uploads to local storage and S3 server in Phoenix with the help of Waffle library.

Sooner or later you may need to convert a string in Elixir to a camel or snake case. With Macro module (available in Elixir without extra dependency) it's super easy.

People will tell you it's an antipattern, but what if a library needs you to do this?

In this post, you’ll learn how to easily redirect users to the previous path using the Navigation History plug.

It’s super easy!

Now, that the dust after #ElixirConfEU2021 has settled, Michał Buszkiewicz wrote a short review about this event.
➡How was it?
➡How did he feel as a speaker?
➡What was the most interesting?
➡Is it worth it to go for next year's ElixirConf EU 2022 event?

The macro mechanism in Elixir isn't only an interesting metaprogramming feature - in fact, it's at the language’s very core. And the more awesome fact is that using macros, you can override the algorithm of defining functions itself!
Check how to override Kernel macros in our #todayIlearned series, this time with Michał Buszkiewicz as a Guide.

Have you ever wondered about tests running inside the IEx shell?💡
It's not so simple but it’s worth it! 💪🏻
That's why our Elixir & React Developer Oskar Legner shared his know-how in #todayIlearned series 🚀

Building an application can be really time and money-consuming as well as potentially risky. The last thing you want to do is spend your energy and time creating something that might not be profitable for your business.
By defining a clear MVP scope as early as possible, you can lower overall expenses and risk.
Elixir and Phoenix, in turn, is the perfect technology for most of the applications and MVPs you plan to build. Why?

Sooner or later you'll have to change the null constraint in one of your DB relations. How to do it easily in Ecto?

So you don’t know what’s the type of struct you’re passing somewhere? Maybe it can be one of few types and you have to distinguish them? Or any other reason… But it’s about checking the struct type. Just use one of the coolest Elixir features - pattern matching!
