Where to begin learning Elixir for someone with existing programming experience?
Hello, I’m sure this has been asked a bunch, but where to start. I do prefer vodeos over books, but recently I have found books to be more helpful.
I do have programming experience. I have used languages such as JavaScript, Scala, Php, Python and A couple others. Any guidance is very helpful.

Just understand that there may be a few up front challenges
Essentially a personal experience report about learning to use Elixir.

You can start on the getting started guide which will taught you the constructs of the language. Then you can build your first application on the mix and otp intro.
After that get your hands dirty in a project to replicate something you already have in other language or start with Phoenix. Happy Brewing!
