Creating a new Phoenix project

Now that we have something in place to help us understand Elixir and Phoenix and we've installed everything necessary, we can start to discuss how to actually begin implementing our first project in Phoenix. To get started on a project and generate the Phoenix application skeleton we'll need to start developing, we'll run a special command using the installed Mix application that came with Elixir. We also added the Phoenix Hex archive to our local Hex installation, so we should have access to a few new Phoenix-specific Mix tasks, such as mix phx.new!
