Any recommendations for an entry point into Elixir? I've been teaching myself Rust through resources like Rustlings and 100-exercises-to-learn-rust, and I've found that approach to be pleasantly accessible. I've yet to find something similar for Elixir, whether interactive or just well laid-out.



Shameless plug: I created a video course that shows you how to build and deploy a product with Elixir really quickly.

Hello Peter, fyi, I'm having trouble accessing the cashblog.app website. Not sure if it's just on my end but might be worth taking a look. Cheers.


This looks similar to what you describe: https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir/exercises


Boot up a Livebook and step through some of the basics on the Elixir homepage. Someone else recommended Elixir in Action, which is a very good book once you have some grasp on the fundamentals.


If you're optimizing for career opportunities at all, Rust has more hiring potential than Elixir by a country mile. Both are lightly infested by web3 grift, though.
