How to start programming in Elixir?

A common question among people who discover the existence of the Elixir programming language, created by the Brazilian programmer José Valim, is: "What is the starting point for learning Elixir?" and "How should I prepare myself to land my first internship or job in the programming field?"

Getting started in the world of programming typically involves using a computer (desktop or laptop) to develop and test programs. Practice plays a fundamental role in solidifying the knowledge acquired through various resources such as books, blog articles, videos, podcasts, and others.

Currently, to start learning Elixir, you don't need to install anything on your computer. For instance, you can use a Livebook instance running on Fly.io or HuggingFace. And, of course, you can also install Livebook on your computer.

After that, you just need to follow the learning material of your choice. I have some videos at https://www.youtube.com/@elixiradolfont.

And if you want to know how to prepare yourself to land your first internship or job in the programming field using Elixir, join the Elixir World community on Telegram. Don't forget to respond to the CAPTCHA!
