If you're new to Elixir, I highly recommend Dave Thomas' book "Programming Elixir"

From the website:
"You want to explore functional programming, but are put off by the academic feel (tell me about monads just one more time). You know you need concurrent applications, but also know these are almost impossible to get right. Meet Elixir, a functional, concurrent language built on the rock-solid Erlang VM. Elixir’s pragmatic syntax and built-in support for metaprogramming will make you productive and keep you interested for the long haul. This book is the introduction to Elixir for experienced programmers."
- rodgerd 11y agoAt an introductory level, Katie Miller's "Programming in Elixir" from LCA 2014 is a good talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSGBpW3xEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSGBpW3xEQ
- hackerboos 11y agoDave's book gives a great overview of Elixir. If you want a deeper look at Elixir - I'd recommend Elixir in Action by Saša Jurić (Manning publications). Ben Tan Wei Hao's book is also promising (still in early release) - The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook also Manning.
