Elixir

This is where we talk about all thing related to the Elixir language, including it's surrounding OTP ecosystem.

about #elixir

Elixir is a dynamic, concurrent, fault-tolerant and functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications.

Elixir is built upon the battle-tested Erlang VM (BEAM).

José Valim is the creator of the Elixir programming language.

Here's a mini-documentary done on Elixir!

If you're new to Elixir, here's some resources to get you started:

The official Elixir website

ElixirSchool, a community-driven website to help make Elixir easily accessible!

The amazing books, Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas and also Elixir in Action by Sas̄a Jurić

My personal favourite, Elixir and the OTP, video-based tutorial from Pragmatic Studio. I basically learned my Elixir crafts from here!

Other video resources like ElixirCasts and Alchemist Camp are also great!

If you're into podcast, I'm a big fan of Elixir Talk, they're perfect for your commute so definitely check them out!

If you need even better resources, Elixir community is also on elixirforum.com and we are also very active on the Slack channel over at https://elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com!

P.S: With courtesy from ElixirForum (probably the biggest Elixir community forum?), you can sometimes get up to 40% off the learning resources! Just try to input elixirforum whenever you try to checkout :)
