Last year I learned the basics of Elixir and wrote some toy projects with it. This year I'm starting to delve into the more advanced aspects of Elixir and I'm hoping to get into Elixir web development with Phoenix before the end of the year.
As part of the Elixir learning process, I've been writing a series called Learn With Me: Elixir at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/ https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/, so that other people can learn Elixir along with me.
At first the idea was just to help other people out in learning the language by explaining it from my perspective as I learned it, since there aren't large numbers of Elixir learning resources out there, but I found out that writing about Elixir and explaining it has been enormously useful in helping me learn. It helps me to think about the topic in more detail and I feel motivated to answer questions that pop up in my head while I'm writing, leading me to understand Elixir better.
So for anyone wanting to learn something, I recommend writing about it as well. Attempting to explain it to others has a learning value all on its own.
