Hello,

A month ago, I start reading about Elixir and want to learn more about this (new) language. That's the reason for buying this book and making programs. Looking through it, I miss a few things. Ok, probably other persons miss other parts.

- How to pass arguments to a program?

ex.
./program -a -b --name="Maria" ...

- How to distribute my program?

Finally, my program is finished but how to distribute it to my colleague?

I read something about escript utility in mix?

I hope these things will be covered in your book, thx.

Regards,
Gerrit
