Functional Programming using Elixir – The Complete Course

Elixir is a programming language used by application developers of all kinds and it is best for building scalable and maintainable applications. There are lot of people that are jumping on board with Elixir because it sort of has elegance.   

Elixir is a functional language and it runs on the top of Erlang virtual machine, which implies it is also inherently concurrent and distributed, whereas the syntax is very straight forward, it’s unlike any other functional languages. The emphasizing reasons why people typically get excited is because, it is fun to read and write, and it has lots of built–in features for building reliable systems. 

Our course is designed keeping newbies and freshers in mind, the course separates language into simple bits and pieces that enables you grasp the language easily and furthermore help you to start programming quickly. 

In this course we are going to start with basics of functional programming which is for example quite different from object oriented programming. We will even dive deep in the basics of Elixir and how it is different from other popular language with all the specifications. How it work with the processes and makes its stand apart.   

In the next section we will see what is node, tasks, and agents. You will also learn how to work with GenServer i.e. the part of OTP framework that comes from Erlang with the applications in Elixir with all the dependencies. What are supervisors and how they can ensure for the tool runs.
