Hello everyone,
I’m starting to learn Elixir and i have been searching here your recommendation for learning Elixir.
I came across the books Programming Elixir → Elixir in Action → Programming Phoenix → Functional Web Development with Elixir, OTP, and Phoenix.
Is that a good order to read the books?
Before Programming Elixir, is watching Dave Thomas’s course a good decision or can i go straight to the book? Is there a discount for his course? (here in Brazil 1 dollar equals 4 of our currency)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome Vitor
Here’s a post I made in a similar thread recently which is similar to what you have chosen:
I would do Dave’s course after his book and EIA

Thanks!
Although I searched about the books, I didn’t come across as your post.
Do you have a specific reason for taking the course after the books?

Hay Victor, Actually, I am a content writer and working for Reviewsed, I am also trying to learn Elixir from this forum so I can write about Elixir in my articles. Let see how much I will learn.

Looks like I’m late to the party but if you get tired of books we have some resources available as well: https://learn-elixir.dev/
