Building Scenic User Interfaces with Layered Elixir Architecture

Building graphical user interfaces in Elixir requires a solid architectural foundation to keep your codebase maintainable as it grows. Using the Scenic framework with a layered design ensures your UI remains decoupled, highly responsive, and easy to test. This text-only course guides you through organizing Scenic projects into logical layers, managing application state with OTP, and integrating external APIs and persistence. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of the Scenic vector graphics framework and its component-based architecture - Organize your Elixir code into clean layers to separate UI logic from business rules and data persistence - Manage application state reliably using OTP behaviors like GenServer and Supervisors - Integrate external data sources and APIs seamlessly into your Scenic viewport - Implement modern Elixir practices, including structured logging and lightweight telemetry for monitoring UI performance - Write robust unit tests for your Scenic logic using the ExUnit testing framework You will start with core Scenic concepts and basic viewport configuration before moving on to advanced state management and layered design patterns. Through detailed written explanations and clear code examples, you will learn how to build modular, maintainable Elixir applications. This course is designed for Elixir developers who want to learn UI development with Scenic and improve their architectural skills, with no prior GUI experience required.
