I'm still partial to LearnXinYMinutes[0]. It's how I learned enough MatLab/Octave in a couple hours to test out of an intro CS course.
Usually I just use that site in addition to the official tutorial when a concept really stumps me.
Here's their article on Elixir[1]

- soultrees 3y agoWhat an amazing resource. Thank you for this. And even more thanks to whoever put this together.
- culi 3y agoThe project was created and is maintained by Adam Bard, but is open sourced with over 1.7k contributors since 2013 https://github.com/adambard/learnxinyminutes-docs https://github.com/adambard/learnxinyminutes-docs
- soultrees 3y agoHaha yeah, I saw that after. In that case, great job everyone!
- archsurface 3y agoYou consider this to be "for experienced coders"?
- nerdponx 3y agoYes. It's not useful for beginners. It's a good way to get a quick introduction to the syntax and idioms of a language you're unfamiliar with.
- xtracto 3y agoThe Elixir one looks to me like a language reference. Nothing wrong with it, in fact I used to love "language reference" books in the 90s to learn a new language. It's way better than the typical painful language tutorial that is teaching you about how a variable is like a box containing a value... for every new language you want to learn. For the sake of other people knowledge, if you appreciate this format to learn a language from a book, search for "language reference" books. They are usually succinct and to the point.
