I was referred to this guide by a family member, and found it very easy to jump into. Sadly I’ve reached the interim end of the tutorial. Are there any tutorials that you can point me towards that are fairly simple like this one, and are geared towards the learner that has a good understanding of how computers work. In other words; simple, but not too simple. I intend to come back to this as more is added, but I like to go through multiple tutorials to grasp the full understanding of a single language. Any suggestions would be great!

I’ve just published an update about Joy of Elixir to my personal blog: https://ryanbigg.com/2018/08/joy-of-elixir-progress-update.
The TL;DR of this is:
- I’m back to writing this book in my full-time after writing yet another book first
- I’m hoping to have the chapter on
Filecomplete by the end of the week - I have big plans for the remainder of the book, including a project involving reading from CSV files and automated testing
Thanks all who’ve read / recommended Joy of Elixir so far 
I’ve really loved hearing the great feedback from anyone who’s gone through it already. It gives me such a large amount of confidence going forward.

Just a few more chapters planned:
- Chapter 12: a short one about how to find more functions or to bring up the documentation in
iex. Things like tab-complete, and theh,iandvhelpers. - Chapter 13: Introduction to Mix. Including modules, and touching on automated testing.
- Chapter 14: Building that CSV-reading project I mentioned step-by-step using all the skills we’ve learned so far in the book
- Appendix C: “Where to from here” - links to recommended resources for people to read after this book

If you do read Ryan’s blog (and you should!) I’m the one the blog refers too!
I was looking for a beginner level textbook and this one was recommended :D.
Glad to see updates.

Have you tried https://exercism.io/my/tracks/elixir yet? It’s a set of exercising covering keypoints of programming and language features. You submit the exercises and a mentor comment/gives feedback about it.
I’m using it for about a month and it’s being the most pleasant programming learning method I’ve ever experienced!
Really worth it!
