Following the same engineering ethos and exploratory learning approach that proved so popular with Northwind Elixir Traders , Elixir Chatbot Alchemy explores the implementation of a chatbot in Elixir and Phoenix LiveView, with data persistence in an SQLite database.

Emergent Behaviour: How Simple Rules Create Complex Systems – 99 Real-World Examples reveals the hidden power of local interactions in shaping our world. From flocks of birds that move in perfect sync to social media trends that explode overnight, simple rules can combine to create astonishingly complex patterns. Discover how ants forge efficient pathways, how AI algorithms trigger unexpected market shifts, and why a microscopic slime mould can solve a maze. Each of the 99 case studies illuminates the same core principle: we don’t need a central controller for large-scale order to emerge. Perfect for curious readers and professionals alike, this book offers a fresh lens through which to view nature, technology, and everyday life—highlighting the surprising order that can arise from seemingly random processes.
