I want to like this more, but the book presents a lot of code to type in and then many chapters later that code pays off, but without context it's hard to remember all the decisions that were made before. This is the right book for that if you're going to work through it in an afternoon, but not if you're spreading things out over a week or more. A different style of iterative building than used, or any testing probably would have helped in that regard.

Another digression: there is a lot of JavaScript you need to plug into the browser by hand. Do yourself a favor and serve the helper bits of that via your phoenix server from the get-go or at least save it in a file so you can copy-paste. It was ridiculous the first time and the 4th time I was like "this is not how to do this"… (más)
