[quote=“jsnoble, post:1, topic:3815”]  
I went through the basic tutorials but I want something deeper. … but I am a little tight on cash.  
[/quote]Have you actually **_worked_** through [Introduction to Mix](http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html)? Did you get [What’s new in Ecto 2.0](http://pages.plataformatec.com.br/ebook-whats-new-in-ecto-2-0)? The idea being to keep yourself busy until [the next 50% off sale at Manning or 40% off sale at PragProg](https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/educational-sales-discounts-coupons-thread/2158) (last year there was [one in April](https://media.pragprog.com/newsletters/2016-04-01.html)).

Right now at Manning code _wm022317lt_ will take off 40% for [Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook](https://www.manning.com/books/the-little-elixir-and-otp-guidebook) and [Elixir in Action](https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action) until Feb 28, 2017.
