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.

Also check out the free-learning-resources tag which has quite a few options for you

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.
