Templates Elixir

Elixir

Elixir is a functional, concurrent, high-level general-purpose programming language that runs on the BEAM virtual machine, which is also used to implement the Erlang programming language. Elixir builds on top of Erlang and shares the same abstractions for building distributed, fault-tolerant applications.

Built for engineers

Use this learning plan to master Elixir and build highly scalable and fault-tolerant distributed systems for applications that require real-time processing, high availability, and low-latency responses.

Preview

Getting Started
- Understand the basics of functional programming concepts and the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM) on which Elixir runs.
Elixir Fundamentals
- Learn the syntax and core concepts of Elixir, including immutable data structures, pattern matching, and pipelining.
- Understand processes, concurrency, and message passing in Elixir.
- Explore Elixir's standard library and common data types, such as lists, tuples, and maps.
OTP and Concurrency
- Understand the principles of the OTP (Open Telecom Platform) framework and how it enables robust, fault-tolerant systems.
- Learn how to design and implement concurrent, fault-tolerant applications using OTP's processes, supervisors, and event handling mechanisms.
- Explore OTP behaviors like GenServer, Supervisor, and Application to build scalable applications.
Functional Programming in Elixir
- Dive deeper into functional programming concepts in Elixir, such as higher-order functions, recursion, and anonymous functions.
- Learn how to use Elixir's powerful pattern matching to handle complex data structures and control flow.
