Phoenix 1.3.0 released!
There's not much to say about this one: Phoenix 1.3 is finally out of the release-candiate-phase and in the wild! Yay!

Lessons From Using Phoenix 1.3
David (no, not that one) really likes his Contexts in the new Phoenix 1.3 and shares his excitement!

The fallacies of web application performance
José knows that web app performance has always been a hot topic, especially with regards to frameworks. He explores some of the common fallacies.

Configuring Elixir Libraries
Michal wrote an article on the proper handling of configuration, regarding evaluation time, destillery and other aspects.

What is the Actor Model & When Should You Use it
Matt gives a nice introduction into the actor model and its use cases.

Anonymous Functions with Elixir
Anonymous functions are simply nameless functions. While named functions are a common thing, anonymous functions have their uses, especially in Elixir.

Writing a Telegram-bot in Elixir
It's what it says on the box: The fine folks at ManualsBrain created a Telegram bot in Elixir and share their findings.

ex_debug_toolbar
A debug web toolbar for Phoenix projects to display all sorts of information about the current request. Looks really polished.

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 :)
