Description

In this series, I introduce the basic building blocks of Elixir.

The series is designed for programmers who know some other programming language. For instance, in this series, I won’t be explaining what are variables, functions or conditionals. I will assume that you know them and then show you how these (and many other) things are done in the Elixir language.

We will learn the basics of Elixir and we will learn how to create projects and how to integrate with APIs using HTTP. We will integrate with https://swapi.dev/ which is a fun open API that returns Star Wars character and movie data.

My hope is that by the end of the series you will be excited about Elixir as I am to pursue it further.

I follow classroom-style teaching, where I dig deep into the concepts and I intentionally repeat certain things for memory.
