Not impressed by praprog books when I have to deal with all the errata(mistakes that make the code not work) instead of learning. Even though they tried to cover a lot, the errors just break the experience.
Unfortunately I find this to be a downside of programming books in general, not specific to pragprog. Many authors don't update their books at all making language updates a real pain to work through. Although many pragprog books are outdated now, from what I've seen most of the Elixir ones are relatively up to date.
Also, absinthe looks very powerful and clean so far from what I experienced.
I've not had the pleasure of trying it yet, but it does look good. Nerves is another great looking library if you're interested in embedded software.
I am a certified trainer that likes to share my knowledge with the world.
Also, I am an adopter of continuous learning and evolving idea.

Elixir has a large ecosystem but unfortunately, it lacks documentation and a lot of up to date tutorials plus libraries or guides on certain things(ex: payment gateway options are limited)

Thanks @oshanwisumperuma, unfortunately, it has no documentation for absinthe.
If you look at rails and python they have a lot of options.
Also, a library becomes valid once it has documentation and examples, that is my opinion.
