A three-day introductory course to give you the foundational knowledge of Elixir, one of the world’s most powerful full-stack technologies.
About this Event

Elixir Programming Training for Beginners is a three-day introductory course introducing the key concepts in Elixir. Students will start by learning the basics of the Elixir language. They include its functional heritage, concurrency and error handling. The course provides most prerequisites to attend the OTP course and a range of follow-up courses which can be used to guide developers through advanced topics focusing on BEAM-specific architectures and operations. Together, they are great for those who need to be introduced to Elixir and use it in commercial projects.
