My learning path:

  • Programming Elixir (Best one for learning Elixir)
  • Programming Phoenix (Best/only one for learning Phoenix)
  • The Little Elixir and OTP Guidebook (Learning more about OTP)
  • Metaprogramming Elixir (By author of Phoenix, the core behind Phoenix framework )
  • Elixir in Action

I’ve got Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas, Programming Phoenix, Introduction to Elixir (haven’t read this one yet) and Little Elixir and OTP Guide (midway reading it).

Programming Elixir and Phoenix are definitely great. LEOG is coming along nicely but it is just useful for learning OTP, the Elixir part is very weak and not suitable to beginners.

I want to get:

Elixir Cookbook

I have read:

  • Programming Erlang
  • Programming Elixir
  • Programming Phoenix
  • Introducing Elixir: Getting Started in Functional Programming

I have Metaprogramming Elixir, but need to come back to that one.

I want to get The Little Elixir and OTP Guidebook.

I’ve had a good flow going with iBooks + Flexiglass to split my viewport between the books, spacemacs code and browser for learning.

Where Next?
