Learn Elixir

learn-elixir is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to learning Elixir and the Erlang VM (BEAM), emphasizing why Elixir scales—lightweight processes, immutable data, robust GC, and supervisors—and how to apply those strengths in real projects. The repo walks you from installation on macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows to an interactive workflow using iex, Livebook, and even a one-line Docker run for a zero-install setup. It teaches Elixir’s core types and syntax with short, runnable examples, then moves into real project work using Mix for generating apps, compiling, running tasks, managing dependencies, and creating docs. You’ll learn to write idiomatic modules and functions, use the Enum module, and practice pattern matching and the pipe operator in small, composable functions. The guide also shows how to generate API docs with ex_doc, write and run tests with ExUnit and doctest, and measure coverage—forming a complete feedback loop.
