Hello, I want to get started with elixir today. Having learnt the basics of Erlang (my first ever language) and seen what it’s can do, I’m pretty sure I won’t regret any second of my time I spend learning elixir. So, any recommendations on where to start?. (Preferably free resources 
). Thanks.

The main Elixir site has a great Getting Started tutorial that will take you through the syntax and key features.

After you finish the Getting Started tutorial, Elixir on Exercism is free, paired with the official Elixir docs it’s a great way to learn the language. While you probably won’t read every page of the docs, a page like Enum — Elixir v1.20.2 is very helpful when solving the exercises.
