Install elixir on Windows by first installing the latest 64-bit Erlang from erlang.org, then use the official elixir installer, avoiding Chocolatey, and verify with elixir -v.
Install Hex and set up a new Phoenix project with Elixir using mix, ensuring Erlang version 22 or higher, the correct Elixir version, and PostgreSQL as the default database.
Generate a Phoenix new project with mix, naming it Todo API and installing dependencies, then configure the ORM to connect to Postgres and create the database.
Create changeset view by traversing and translating changeset errors, define a render method that outputs errors as json, and wire together translate errors with the change set.
See how Phoenix handles put requests to update a todo: fetch by id via path params, apply attribute changes, and render the updated todo as json.
Learn to add state to a React to-do list, load todos from JSON, categorize them as active or completed, and implement a refresh with useCallback and useEffect.
If you're tired of long courses and just want to learn basic web development this course is for you. This course was built with the goal of teaching the students how to use Phoenix and Elixir. It focuses heavily on designing a backend RESTful Web Service with CRUD functionality that sends data to a React Electron Front End Application. This is an entry-level course that focuses on building and reinforcing some of the techniques used by developers to build a full-stack application.
In this course, we start by learning what tools you need to create a full-stack Before taking this course, it is recommended that you have an understanding of skills such as Javascript, Elixir, Basic SQL, or ORM development. If not we'll touch on some of those topics early in the course but it is still recommended to have a better understanding.
When going through this course you may come across subjects that you are familiar with as well as those that are completely new to you.

React
Child Components
HTTP Requests with Fetch
CRUD Methods
Elixir Programming Language
Phoenix Framework
Database Migrations
ORMs
When taking this course, please know that you can take your time because you will get access to support along the way. By the time you finish this course, you should feel comfortable creating a full-stack web application with Phoenix, Elixir, and React Electron.
