Learnt a lot of new things , learnt Elixir/Phoenix, now learning Nodejs with Hapi framework.

While learning Nodejs, realised that JS isn't the first language anyone should consider for back-end, but really amazed by things JS is capable of doing today.

Would highly recommend Elixir/ Phoenix over Rails , Elixir not only has lesser learning overhead it makes alot of things a lot easier. Concurrency and speed of server are major advantages but I like way language operates. It was also my first functional language and it changed my perspective for programming languages.

Here Maps was such an amazing service back in the days of Lumia phones. I hope they still doing good and can be an alternative https://mobile.here.com/?x=ep

I started learning Elixir/Pheonix and React for a project in my company. Elixir/ Phoenix didn't take much time but React gave me some hiccups initially but seems good now.

Really loved way functional programming works and also how Elixir handles things . Later I was able to relate Elixir concepts with ES6 features in React. Loved this stack. Hoping to get better in them as the time passes.

Looking forward to contributing to an open source project in these technologies this year.

Any recommendations for Elixir/Phoenix would be highly appreciated to begin with.

I just wish I could convince more people to stop using Facebook , I have started disliking it from last few years.
