Elixir book recommendation for a Javascript dev
I come from a javascript background and I just starting learning elixir. I went through the basic tutorials but I want something deeper. I know there are about 5 books, couple different videos etc but I am a little tight on cash. If I was going to get one of the major books what would you recommend? From the brief chapter overviews it seems the “little elixir and otp book” and “elixir 1.3” seem to stand out the most. Any thoughts or recommendations would be awesome. Thanks

I personally think a lot of developers waste too much reading books and watching videos to feel “prepared” and do not spend enough time actually coding real things. Just my opinion though.

A while ago, I asked my fellow developers for their recommendations, read reviews and visited a couple of websites. Here are the results:
Elixir books and courses for beginners
Plus, a friend of mine has also authored a Free Elixir Course. Feel free to check it out!
