Description
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. It is built on top of Erlang. Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development and the embedded software domain.This course is created for software programmers who aim to learn the fundamentals of Elixir programming language from scratch. This course will give you a basic foundation to start programming in Elixir programming language.Before proceeding with this course, you should have a basic understanding of Computer Programming terminologies and exposure to any other programming language. Some familiarity with functional programming will help you in learning Elixir.Features of ElixirLet us now discuss a few important features of Elixir −Scalability − All Elixir code runs inside lightweight processes that are isolated and exchange information via messages.Fault Tolerance − Elixir provides supervisors which describe how to restart parts of your system when things go wrong, going back to a known initial state that is guaranteed to work. This ensures your application/platform is never down.Functional Programming − Functional programming promotes a coding style that helps developers write code that is short, fast, and maintainable.Build tools − Elixir ships with a set of development tools. Mix is one...
