Here are the things I did to learn Elixir
- Do the Roman numeral kata. I know this kata by heart. But I often do this when I start a new language because I want to focus on learning the syntax. The kata teaches me enough to get a feel of the language, like using a list, Enum, String, and functions.
- I made a video walking through the kata and explaining what the syntax mean.
- Read the getting started guide
- Read the docs. I general read the kernel, Enum, List, and Map. Those should be enough to get you started.
- Create my own application.
- Read other people code.
