SPA-like UX with MVC-like DX: InertiaJS with React and Phoenix

Mike Buhot · Alembic

Mike will share what he's recently learnt trying out InertiaJS with a React Frontend and a Phoenix Backend. TL,DR: The user experience feels like a SPA while the developer experience feels like MVC.

Up next · 7:00

Writing the book on Ash

Rebecca Le · Alembic

The Ash Framework book beta landed last month! Written by Rebecca Le and Zach Daniel, this essential guide for building declarative Elixir web apps using the Ash Framework should be part of every Elixir developers' game-changing toolkit. Join Rebecca as she shares the journey of putting their expertise to paper.

That's a wrap
