Elixir Course

The Elixir language is quite complex. Most of its elements are more complex than they first appear. In the first module, we will look at modules and functions, basic data types and operations with them.

Where is the Elixir programming language used?

Elixir is a functional and scalable programming language, ideal for high-load web applications, fintech, IoT, and cloud services. Thanks to its high fault tolerance and concurrency, it is used in messengers, financial systems, and distributed services. Elixir represents the future of high-performance IT solutions

What will you learn in the "Elixir" course?

You’ll learn the basic syntax of Elixir — a fundamental skill that will enable you to write reliable and scalable applications. After the course, you’ll be able to work with functional constructs, processes, data streams, and macros, as well as use the actor model for concurrent programming

Functional Programming Basics

Elixir is a bright representative of the family of functional languages. It's time to learn what functional programming is, what elements it consists of, and how it differs from other programming paradigms. We have already been introduced to one of the most important elements of FP - pattern matching. Now let us consider the other elements: immutability, recursion, higher-order functions, and anonymous functions.

Collections

Structs and behavior

Errors handling

Processes

In Elixir, all code runs inside processes. Processes are isolated from each other, run in parallel, and communicate via messaging. Processes are not the only basis for parallel operation, but they provide the basis for building distributed and fault-tolerant programs. In this module, we will look at the processes and actor model that underlie the language.
