Ash Framework by Rebecca Le and Zach Daniel is now out of beta and fully released. This book, co-authored by Zach Daniel, the creator of the framework, is a must-have on your Elixir bookshelf.

Join the Elixir Book Club for this book, which starts on September 14, 2025.

Unlock the power of declarative programming to build web applications faster and smarter. With Elixir and the Ash framework, you can streamline your workflow, simplify complex data queries, and focus on crafting exceptional features.

Start with a Phoenix LiveView app and expand it into a fully functional system as you master the key principles of the Ash framework. Build a music database to learn how to:

  • Define resources effortlessly.
  • Connect resources with adaptable relationships.
  • Enrich your models with calculated attributes and aggregates for smarter data usage.

Security and scalability come built in. Implement seamless authentication and authorization policies that integrate across APIs and user interfaces. Generate REST and GraphQL APIs directly from your resources, freeing you to focus on the features that matter.

Dive into real-world scenarios like dynamic search, nested forms, pubsub, and real-time updates — all guided by insider tips and best practices from the creator of Ash.

By the end of this book, you’ll not only have a working application but also the expertise to build scalable, maintainable systems that adapt to your evolving needs.
