Functional programming is growing in popularity, with more and more development teams recognizing its advantages: simpler concurrency, predictability, and expressiveness.
In this course you'll learn the Elixir language, a new language which is getting a lot of attention. You'll start with Elixir's Ruby-inspired syntax, and move on to learn how to code distributed and highly concurrent services in the Elixir language.
Build on your knowledge of Elixir by learning the new Elixir framework Phoenix in our course Get Started With Phoenix.
