Description
If you’ve heard the advantages of functional programming and want to learn Elixir, join this tutorial to get started! This course is for beginner Elixir programmers, software developers, computer and data scientists. Learn Elixir – the functional and dynamic programming language that will help you create scalable and maintainable applications. Join this Elixir tutorial to learn from an experienced instructor. Get the best of my multiyear experience packed in one hour’s course!
Why is it worth to learn in an Elixir tutorial?
Elixir helps to run low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. At the same time, it’s successfully used for web development and in the embedded software domain. Programmers value and recommend learning Elixir for many reasons. I’d say, the best things about Elixir functional programming are the following:
- Elixir is scalable. The code runs in lightweight threads of execution, which are isolated, swapping the data through messages.
- Fault tolerance. When things go wrong, Elixir’s supervisors describe how to restart parts of your system, returning to the known state which is guaranteed to work. Coping with failures is made easy.
- Elixir code is short and maintainable, which can be written fast because of the functional programming coding style.
- Out of the box, Elixir has a great set of tools that make development easy.
- Erlang compatibility helps a lot in building distributed, fault-tolerant applications.
What’s inside this Elixir tutorial?
This course will help you to learn the basics of Elixir functional programming. I made the course material and the teaching approach quite simple so you can grasp the ideas immediately. There will be three main sections in this tutorial for learning Elixir from scratch. However, knowing other programming languages would be a significant advantage for quicker learning, although it’s not required.
- In the opening Section 1, you’ll be guided step by step through the Elixir installation process. I’ll be sharing my screen all the way so you can easily follow. To make your life even more comfortable, there will be a downloadable file with all the essential tips. I didn't want you to get lost right from the beginning.
- Section 2 will provide you with introductory information on interactive shells, input/output, atoms, and An. Functions. And then you’ll be ready to jump into the next section.
- Section 3 will provide you with an autopsy of Elixir. You’ll learn the concepts and the necessary components of functional programming.
- You’ll be able to use Elixir interactive shell.
- You’ll practice building basic software using Elixir.
- With the help of this Elixir tutorial, you’ll develop a different mindset for solving programming problems.
- Achieve a broader spectrum of your goals
If you engrave the concepts of functional programming in your brain, you’ll gain new advantages over anyone who’s not familiar with them. In my career, I’ve developed projects with almost every programming language on Earth! These projects included Robotics, Web/Desktop/Mobile app development, Embedded Systems, Linux Security, etc. My advice for you is to never settle with what you already have. Keep working on building your skillset! Enroll in this Elixir tutorial, and let’s begin straight away!
What Will You Learn?
- You'll understand the concepts of functional programming
- You'll learn to use the Elixir interactive shell
- You'll build basic software in Elixir
Requirements
- Basic programming skills in any language would be an advantage, but not required

About the Instructor
Frank Anemaet is a highly skilled Software Engineer having experience with nearly every programming language on Earth! He’s built projects using Python, PHP, Swift, C++, and more. He’s worked on Linux security, game development, data analysis, creating desktop apps, web apps, managing SQL, mobile development, and lots of other things. All of the skills that he’d learned have been tried and tested in a real-world setting, so Frank Anemaet is the one you can count on when it comes to searching for someone who can ground theory in his practical experience. Of course, you won’t be surprised that Frank has a Master’s degree in Computer Science (honors), and in 2014, he won the first prize competing internationally at a Security Competition (Massachusetts, USA).
Parts of his Frank’s extensive experience in technology have been turned into successful online courses on various online education platforms. There’s so much you can learn from someone who’s worked on projects in Robotics, Web/Desktop/Mobile apps, Embedded Systems, Linux Security, etc. to achieve your personal goals.
On BitDegree, Frank Anemaet is offering a bunch of his courses that will allow you to get solid skills in programming. Learn anything from how to secure a Linux server to gain an in-depth understanding of machine learning with Python, and much more. Most of Frank’s courses are quick, concise tutorials with the essential information that you must gather to get yourself going. Invest your time wisely, and learn only from great experts in their field! To your success!
