By this point, it was almost December, so I decided I was going to try to do the [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode) problems only using Elixir. These challenges were more difficult than the Exercism ones, but they provided the same benefit of letting me get experience actually writing Elixir and solving problems with it an isolated context, without a whole bunch of moving parts.

I knew what I ultimately wanted to do with Elixir was build web apps, so after that I went through the official [Phoenix Guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/elixir) which explains the overall architecture of the Phoenix framework and shows you how a bunch of common patterns and techniques for building webapps with it.

Lastly, and most importantly, I actually started building projects using Elixir. The first one I started was [frenzy](https://git.shadowfacts.net/shadowfacts/frenzy), an RSS aggregator I built using Phoenix and Ecto. Originally, the project was a couple hundred lines of shoddily written JS. I wrote it even before I started learning Elixir, inteding it to be a stopgap. As I was learning Elixir, I knew this project was what it was building up to, so as read things and did programming exercises, I noticed things that I thought would become useful once I got around to rewriting frenzy in Elixir.
