Phoenix Drills

Drills help you develop familiarity and muscle memory with syntax through repeated exercises. Unlike usual problems, Drills are not intended to develop problem solving skills, they are purely for developing comfort and speed.

This set of drills is for the Phoenix framework. Follow the instructions for each drill and complete them as quickly as you can.

Hello World

Create a hello world and replace any existing content on the "/" route with “Hello World”.

$ mix phx.new hello_world --no-ecto

Random Number

Create a random number web app that generates a random number between 1 and 100 on the "/random_number" route.

$ mix phx.new random_number --no-ecto

Phoenix Navigation

Create a Phoenix application with three pages:

• Home
• About
• Projects

Create a simple navigation bar at the top of every page that lets you navigate to each page.

Counter

Recreate the counter found in the Follow Along: Counter exercise without referring to the exercise material (as much as possible).

Commit Your Progress

DockYard Academy now recommends you use the latest Release rather than forking or cloning our repository.

Run git status to ensure there are no undesirable changes. Then run the following in your command line from the curriculum folder to commit your progress.

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "finish Phoenix Drills exercise"
$ git push

We’re proud to offer our open-source curriculum free of charge for anyone to learn from at their own pace.

We also offer a paid course where you can learn from an instructor alongside a cohort of your peers. We will accept applications for the June-August 2023 cohort soon.
