Need a Crash Course on Elixir...any ideas

Hello,
I have an interview coming up and I seem to have forgotten important concepts of Elixir. So I was wondering if you guys know of any crash courses on Elixir and Pheonix and maybe build a simple app at the end?

Something that talks about Elixir, Pheonix, and or Liveview.

Thank You

Cannot recommend the Elixir course enough. In the end you have a web app using Phoenix.

I’m going through the Dockyard Academy open source curriculum, and I think it’s great. It uses Livebook and you learn the basics of the language, tooling, OTP, Phoenix and Liveview. In my personal experience this the most beginner friendly course I have seen up to now, with many small exercises and projects and very to the point. Dockyard actually uses this curriculum for their bootcamp, but IMO it is also doable on yourself. :slightly_smiling_face:

I believe you mean this one Elixir for Programmers, Second Edition. I will purchase this one after I go through a refresher course again.
Sorry, my question is pertaining to a more beginner-friendly course, before I jump into this one by PragDave

Depends on what you mean by a “crash-course”. Personally I’ve found the official guides great, very terse and on point. As mentioned in the table of contents they include stuff like OTP, building small apps, etc. But, not Phoenix.

Since Elixir is not that popular, our company’s question is just “Please reimplement flatten using recursion. You can use any language you like.”

We don’t expect our new colleagues to know Elixir. Several days ago, I just taught a new colleague how to reimplement GenServer module using pure Elixir.
