I am not referring to your book @stephenbussey, I am referring to programming phoenix 1.4 errata and also to the way The Pragmatic Programmer, in general point of view on learning.
As someone new to the language, the first step is to share code and create your own style but for that you need a template, so restricting what you learn from the books makes this impossible.
Humans are not: copy and paste machines.
You can only use the code in your own projects but can't blog about it or create courses with it. This really sounds odd and doesn't help anyone that really wants to learn.
When you write something you also gain a better understanding of what you learn, it is the natural way to develop your skills.
This is my honest opinion.
I also respect the authors from the Elixir community and consider that they have very useful knowledge to share, but this limitation really is making it hard to do something with that knowledge.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I'm not sure about the other PragProg books, but having just written Real-Time Phoenix, I'm confident in the accuracy of the information.
In general, I've found them to be high quality. If the books are dated because of library changes, that just comes with the territory.
