In this - and subsequent - “Give it a try” sections, it would be very useful to have the answers, both to confirm whether we got it right and to assist if/when we get stuck
Great question! For now, we don’t have the answers ready to go. But we’d love to see readers posting their solutions and chatting about challenges here on DevTalk
I agree wholeheartedly that it would be really helpful for answers to be available for the “Give it a Try” exercises.
@SophieDeBenedetto, if we wanted to start a collection of answers, where would be the best place to (or tagging mechanism for) doing that on this platform?
@AstonJ if readers wanted to start an Answers page here for Programming Phoenix Liveview what would be the best place and way to do that?
I agree this would be awesome - and kind of relates to another suggestion I opened (have all terminal commands saved as an .exs file per chapter: Suggestion: .exs scripts for all CLI commands per chapter in source code .zip).
Maybe just a topic here on DevTalks per chapter would be nice - there’s 13 chapters, so it’d be quite a few posts… but the answers of each chapter should definitely exist on their own forum IMO.
When I have figured out mine for chapter 3, I’m happy to share it. Without any other answers/discussion I got stuck, and had to open a question
topic on it .
