Elixir Tutorial

Learn in One Videos for Every Programming Language

[donovanvanderlinde]

Years later

Its still easier to come here learn the language at whatever state you taught it in and catch up with docs

Your work never gets outdated

[jamesr]

Even though it's a few years old, this is the best way to get up and running with elixir. A tutorial on elixir's main framework, phoenix, would be awesome!

[asheykamp]

Can you make a video where you cover things like GenServer, GenStage, OTP trees, and Phoenix?

[maximemoreau]

Thanks thanks and thaaaanks for all !!
I hope you'll do more tutorial on Elixir, I'am very exciting about this language.

You have a intelligible voice / accent, this is nice for me because I'm french. I definitively love your tutorials.
Great job!

My background is ruby and python, and am now learning elixir, I must say its a lot of fun.

much cleaner way to implement Factorial (48:42) function in Elixir would be sth like that:
def factorial(0), do: 1
def factorial(n) when n > 0, do: n * factorial(n - 1)

Derek, just wanted to let you know you played a solid role in helping me complete my BS in Computer Science. I am currently working on my Master's in CS at Georgia Tech and trying to land an awesome job to utilize my skills. This video is great as always. I'm not kidding when I say that I have learned the basics and more of several programming languages, watching your "Learn #{lang} in one video" videos, which have always helped me get a huge head start in my CS classes when taking on new language. Thank you sir, you deserve and award!

For the windows users, I tried a lot of things but I couldn't compile using the commands show in the video. In the end I ended up using Wsl and installed elixir there and it worked.

[silvernode]

So I wanted to check out Elixir and checked youtube....Derek saved me a lot of time once again. The fact that this was uploaded 2 weeks ago is perfect timing . Thanks for the great lessons you put up on here. This is a subscription I will not regret.

at 48:00, masterclass in programming itself, bravo sir

[LarryRix]

@31.04 ... char_lists is deprecated. Use charlists instead. 🙂

[RohanDaxini]

Nice quick introduction to major features of Elixir language. Thanks Derek.

[auraSinhue]

I finished it! Hope a more detailed video about concurrency.

[yasam]

Great fast introduction for newbies of Elixir, like me, thank you.

[hbobenicio]

Really good tutorial. I really like how concise your pace is. Keep it comming!!!

[glrk]

Hello, it would be graight if you can also make a video about erlang vm architecture pros and cons and why is it so good for running concurency a comparison with JVM would be nice as well. thanks for your videos !

[alxprogrmz]

Derek Banas= I commend you for knowing a quite amount of programming languages. What was your first programming Language to learn? How are you able to know these programming languages when some are functional imperative and some object oriented? I am stuck with C programming and will not give up. My next language is Elixir because it is different. Hope you are able to answer these question because I need some guidance. Thank you for making these videos.

The book linked to is way out of date now and you should use the title to search for the most up to date version (for 1.6 I believe)

[bathtub]

This was great! A similar style video for the Phoenix framework would be awesome!
