What does Elixir have to offer you? |
|
Erlang was created in the 80's, to handle all the challenges in Telecom systems. |
|
Erlang is a programming language created in Ericcson CS lab by Mike Williams, Robert Virding, Bjarne Däcker and Joe Armstrong. It handled all the Telecom system requirements needed as features of the language. |
|
Erlang comes with a powerful Virtual Machine known as "the BEAM VM". As other VMs, this could run many languages on top like: Erlang itself, Elixir, Gleam, Caramel (Ocaml implementation), ELisp, etc. |
|
Elixir is a dynamic programming language created by Jose Valim in 2010. What are you going to face trying to learn Elixir and why it worth it? |
|
Elixir is a funcional programming, a different programming paradigm different than imperative or object-oriented. That means you'll create functions to compose your code logic. |
|
One important part is the Data Transformation approach, due the data immutability in Elixir you must think in terms of transform inputs into outputs. |
|
You'll use functions to transform your input data. |
|
Elixir syntax takes this approach seriusly, so write code in Elixir follows this approach. |
Learn Elixir means learn to become confident in the functional programming approach. Also Elixir provides you many complementary tools to improve your developer journey. |
|
I strongly recommend learn by yourself or maybe create a study group with your friends and colleagues.
You can find simple and powerful resources at:
- I recommend you read the official documentation https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/introduction.html
- https://elixirschool.com/en The Elixir School have good lessons to learn Elixir basics.
- You can practice code exercises and get feedback from mentors in https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir
- If you enjoy reading code, maybe you'll enjoy watch Jose Valim in action solving Advent of Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDxJjqx5-ns&list=PLNP8vc86_-SOV1ZEvX_q9BLYWL586zWnF
- If you want premium learning resources, Bruce Tate can teach you in Grox.io https://grox.io/

Maybe the most interesting and recommended book for beginners. Saša Jurić explains with detail what it's Elixir and teach you the Elixir's way. |
|
|
A book from 2013, it's always a pleasure read Joe Armstrong. This book is focused on Erlang. |

Jose Valim and Bruce tate wrote this awesome book to show you the Elixir's way. |
Or if you enjoy watching talks, I recommend you:
