I want to teach some Elixir. Any volunteers to be taught?
Hello there!
I have a little in-home experience teaching physics and I have nobody to teach Elixir to, but I want to try. So I decided to search here.
We may:
- Have pair programming sessions.
- Build some opensource projects together.
- Have some code reviews while working on opensource projects.
As a result, we may have something for your (and mine) Github profile and also some extra experience.
I’m a regular backend Elixir programmer, so don’t expect any specific fancy stuff from me. Just a regular web application code for real-life applications.
Your experience may vary, but I’m mostly thinking about beginners in Elixir who came from another language. If you are a beginner in programming, we may talk about some steps to take you closer to doing some real stuff.
P.S. I’m not entirely sure this isn’t an offtopic. Point me please in the right direction if it is.

We had our first session with @g5becks and @ZsoltMaslanyi
The result is here: GitHub - denispeplin/grab_elixir · GitHub (it grabs username, link to user’s profile and posts from this page).
I will continue tomorrow with adding some Ecto and saving stuff taken from the forum.
We decided on the call that it’s a good idea to have Telegram channel for quicker notifications. Here it is: Telegram: Contact @teach_elixir
I think I’ll be running next session tomorrow 11:00 UTC approx. Ping me around this time in the telegram channel if you want to join.

Sounds like a great idea @denispeplin 
Perhaps you could use the forum or have more open class on the forum where more people can join in? Could be an interesting way to do it and might benefit more people

I would like to be in the class. ^^
I’m not quite new to Elixir, but I have a lot to learn. Far too much, I’m afraid.
Somehow, I managed to write a classifieds website with Phoenix thanks to this forum and other free learning resources on the web. The administration platform allows admin users to add categories associated with almost any type of criteria to be fulfilled when creating an ad. Generated form fields can be text, number or datetime inputs, select tag with predefined options, predifined chexboxes or radio buttons with less or more complex validations.
Even though all seem to work fine, I’m sure it could be better:
- for example my Ecto queries could probably be enhanced.
- I have not written any code to test it. Unit testing is my pet peeve. That’s probably one of the reasons why I still have no contribution in the world of open source.
Finally, unfortunately I have some technical limitations.
- I have a really limited internet connection (I use mobile data) so I will not be able to participate in videoconferencing if there is. So it would arrange me a lot if exchanges are via emails or text chat, or even on this forum.
- English is not my native language so sometimes I have hard time to understand or to make myself be understood… So I’m learning that too. ^^
I don’t know how many people you will be able to take in your class 
, but bravo for taking this initiative.
