This repository is the home of Hands-on Elixir & OTP: Cryptocurrency trading bot book.

Want to learn Elixir & OTP by creating a real-world project?

The book cover

With "Hands-on Elixir & OTP: Cryptocurrency trading bot", you will gain hands-on experience by writing an exciting software project from scratch. We will explore all the key abstractions and essential principles through iterative implementation improvements.

We will start by creating a new umbrella application, subscribing to WebSocket streams, implementing a basic trading flow, and focusing on improving it by expanding on the topics like supervision trees, resiliency, refactoring using macros, utilising the Registry, testing and others.

This book is 90% complete - chapters 1-20 are finished, and I'll add more content soon. It's also a loosely written representation of the Hands-on Elixir & OTP: Cryptocurrency trading bot video course released on YouTube.

Contributing, Errata and Source code {-}

The book is written using R Markdown(it's a very similar syntax to the GitHub markdown but supports many more features including code execution, etc.) and converted to final form (for example PDF) using the bookdown app. This means that editing a chapter is as simple as editing the markdown source of that chapter.

There are two repositories related to this book(both hosted on Github):

In regards to contributions - I would love to follow the standard process of forking, making changes, opening PR(please look is there a branch for the next version and point to it instead of main), merging, and releasing a new version of the book.

This books has also the GitHub Discussions enabled for both the book's repo as well as source code's repo, please feel welcome to start any discussions related to book there.
