Every time I try to start with ash, I get stuck. I tried with tdd which is very easy in phoenix or rails because the error often guides you what to do next. With ash it's not that obvious.

I think that you should record someone with elixir knowledge but without ash experience trying to copy something in ash and see where they struggle. Similary what Primeagen did when learning elixir.

We've done this a few times, but it's always worth revisiting. The on-ramp to @ash-hq.org has always been longer than we'd like. The book is a major step in helping folks overcome that hurdle.

You should share where you get stuck :) We have a lot of people in the community willing to help, all you have to do is ask. Let us know where you got stuck in a GitHub issue or on ElixirForum/discord 🙇‍♂️

I appreciate the community's help, but when I get stuck on basic concepts, I know I'll struggle even more with advanced topics. One major blocker was the lack of test examples. While there is a page in the documentation about testing, it doesn't cover important areas like relationships.
