Try Elixir [online course]

[gabrielperales]

Codeschool just have released this course https://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-elixir

Thanks for sharing @gabrielperales. I'm currently learning Elixir so I'll give these a go and feedback on what I think.

@gabrielperales / @Cleop tried it. ✅
highly recommend everyone start their Elixir learning journey with "Try Elixir"
because there's nothing to install and it focusses on 3 useful things before (without) diving into too much syntax!

Please add a "Try Elixir" section to the Readme https://github.com/dwyl/learn-elixir#how segment.

The extended course: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/mixing-it-up-with-elixir looks good too. and $29/month is quite cheap to learn elixir if you get it learned in less than a month. 👍

That is great @nelsonic ! Right now i'm too busy with job and learning elm to start learning elixir also, but I want to do it sooner or later. I'm subscripted to codeschool newsletter, so I'm getting their updates, and the have released also this elixir screencast. I can't see it because I don't have a paid subscription at this moment, but I thought you may see it.

I will add this section to the README now that I have finished watching the free videos and know what they cover.

I thought it was a nice introduction too 😄

[Cleop]

@nelsonic how much detail do you think the README should have on this course?

At the most basic level it can link people to it and advise them to try it. Do you think the README should include written notes/content covering what the videos cover or do you think that's not worthwhile if the videos cover this already and have exercises to accompany it?

[nelsonic]

@Cleop given that the course is not free/open beyond the "basics" I would limit to linking to the course so people are aware of it. I would much rather point people to: https://elixirschool.com which is 100% Free & Open Source. 👍

Closing as the PR was merged in 👍
