Every Thursday: No frills, no click-through, no spam.
Here's what the latest issue looks like:
This week in Elixir
ElixirStatus now looks like ElixirWeekly
Last week I finally updated ElixirStatus to look a bit more like this newsletter. I really like this "feedback loop" between these sister projects :)
Elixir & Phoenix Workshops

Iterating in Elixir
Lasse writes about the difference in functional programming when you map, reduce, loop and otherwise iterate data models.
Using Flynn to deploy a Phoenix app
Omar describes how to use Flynn (an open source alternative to Heroku) to deploy your Phoenix application.
Have some side effects in the pipepline
This library provides simple utilities for making side effect calls and return the piped-in value at the end of a pipeline.

Questions & Answers
Can I submit things I made to be included in the next issue?
Yes! Simply post them to ElixirStatus and you can be sure that they land on my radar.
Is my email address safe with you?
Yes. I'd like to consider myself a trustworthy individual, but then who doesn't?
I am, however, an active member of the open-source Elixir community and the maintainer of Credo and ElixirStatus. I will NOT ruin my reputation by selling your data to a third party.
Why do you require me to confirm my email address?
I just believe that requiring double opt-in to subscribe to any email-based system is a win for both parties: You are safe from unintentionally subscribing and I can be confident that you actually own the email address and want to receive the newsletter I send you :)
