Video: An Introduction to Elixir
This talk was originally presented at the Philly Elixir Group April meeting by me (@zorn).
Covers the basics of the language, what Elixir can be used for and why it’s particularly helpful for certain situations. A great talk for people new to or curious about Elixir.
