hmmm, yes you are correct. I thought they used to offer more for free but maybe my memory is off. Apologies.

You are also right about that the Phoenix book needs an update, they changed A LOT with the way they structure code in the last release. Which, you don't have to use btw, you can still use the older methods. The major differences are here https://elixircasts.io/upgrading-to-phoenix-1.7 which I can honestly understand the pain a new developer feels when the books are out of date.

I'd still consider going through an older book, you'll learn 90-95% of the same thing.

Seconded. I have the book, and it's pretty easy to understand where the differences are. And worth learning the pre 1.7 Phoenix because a lot of the changes thereafter make so much more sense when you know the pain points that motivated them.
