A free and open source online Elixir and Phoenix bootcamp - thoughts?
I’ve been tossing an idea for a free and open-source platform to learn Elixir and Phoenix. Something like freecodecamp. I’ve been through codeschool and a couple of other material, but none of them turns out to be open-source. And none of them provide a full insight into all the features and benefits nor step-by-step learning for the complete beginner. Some people have a problem with reading the docs and getting started, so I was thinking of a project-based approach. We could have the people build projects, you know after completing the lessons.
Please let me know what you think of this. A few pointers n getting started might also help.

Can you provide more details about what you mean please? There’s very little info at freecodecamp without signing up an account.
We already have some great free resources too - and so you might find it would be easier to help out with those projects than having to create a whole new resource from scratch. Take a look:
You could for instance, suggest/work on a codeschool type interface for elixirschool

At the moment, I haven’t seen a freeCodeCamp like website for learning Elixir. Maybe someone will make one in the future.

Thanks @AstonJ for linking to Joy of a Elixir
Hi @anandpotukuchi. Joy of Elixir, while not yet finished, sounds a lot like your idea. The plan is to take people through Elixir from scratch (no programming experience) and end with them completing a test-driven-design project compiled with Mix.
If you at all had a chance to read through the book and to provide feedback on it that would be most welcome it seems like you already have a lot of good ideas.
