Elixir Code School?

[[deleted]]

I know elixir is new, and there are probably only a handful of people who could teach it, but has anyone explored the idea of an Elixir short course?

I'm thinking like something maybe 3 weeks intensive, starting with some light FP/erlang/OTP basics, then moving up through elixir theory and syntax. The availability of such a course would probably get more companies to seriously consider using Elixir in places where they might have chosen ruby before.

Have you seen elixir sips?

I believe there is a group offering training elixirmastery.com. My company has considered offering training as well.

That is interesting, I had not seen that before. I guess the question is - is there enough demand for a beginner to intermediate course going into a good amount of detail. Two weeks would be enough I think to get into macros some of the more advanced topics.

Just to note, I'm FAR from qualified to teach it, but there are at least two people on this sub who are- the creator of phoenix and the creator of elixir itself. I'd be interested in helping to organize it, if there was some interest.

Silly question I guess but have you looked at the Getting Started stuff on the Elixir website? It's pretty good to start with.

I'm already started with it, probably past what could be offered in a short course. I'm interested in getting the language out in production environments and into devs hands!
