Re-Read Programming Phoenix Book for v.1.4

[nelsonic]

With the recent release of the Programming Phoenix 1.4 Book (2018-10-19)
see: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-phoenix-framework#book
I feel that it would be a good use of my time to re-read it and follow all the examples
to ensure that my knowledge is up-to-date for my upcoming Phoenix-based web app projects.

If I sit down and focus, I estimate that it will probably take me 4 days (two uninterrupted weekends...)
to read the 269 pages and write the example code.

Better get cracking!

At end of page 34 this is the state of the app:

2 chapters to cover "Hello World" ... 🙄
I feel this could be done with fewer words and more clarity. 🤔

By the end of page 38 this is what you should see:

At the end of P. 48 you should see this:
http://localhost:4000/users/

http://localhost:4000/users/2

Had to submit another errata: https://pragprog.com/titles/phoenix14/errata #85673
Sadly it is preventing me from finishing Chapter 13. 😞
Really hope they answer/fix it.
Meanwhile I'm going to finish reading chapter 14 "What's Next?" which is unrelated to Rumbl.

Finished reading the Programming Phoenix 1.4 Book.
Felt that the last chapter was a bit of a cop-out.
It briefly covers LiveView (but only basic demos no full app or useful extension to "Rumbl")
and mentions Telemetry but says that the API will change.
Touches upon Phoenix Channels 2.0 which is still in development ...
I would much rather they pointed to where to go next than finish with "Good Luck". 🙄

Overall I would recommend the book. 👍
But I feel they (or someone else) can still do much better. 💭
