Just reading the docs won’t help as much with Elixir unless you have good context for the way the language itself works (that is, you have a solid understanding of FP and a decent understanding of the (at times strange courtesy of Erlang) syntax).

I’d suggest at minimum starting with their Getting Started guide. It’s not ‘amazing’ by any means, but it’s a decent tutorial if you already have some coding experience (and it sounds like you do, even if it’s not backend experience).
