Where to begin learning Elixir for someone with existing programming experience?
Hello, I’m sure this has been asked a bunch, but where to start. I do prefer vodeos over books, but recently I have found books to be more helpful.
I do have programming experience. I have used languages such as JavaScript, Scala, Php, Python and A couple others. Any guidance is very helpful.

Just understand that there may be a few up front challenges
Essentially a personal experience report about learning to use Elixir.

You can start on the getting started guide which will taught you the constructs of the language. Then you can build your first application on the mix and otp intro.
After that get your hands dirty in a project to replicate something you already have in other language or start with Phoenix. Happy Brewing!

hello world of course. Important tradition right there. Looks like joaoevangelista has you linked correctly to get going on that
Just understand that there may be a few up front challenges to your norm based on your language history, but you won’t regret learning this paradigm whether you become an elixir regular or not. Scala has a little of the same sauce but it just isn’t even close to the good feels you get developing a proper elixir/erlang program. If you have a problem in mind just hello world and then go toward it… the ecosystem for elixir is surprisingly vast already and you can find your way toward solving most problems in record time
