Alchemist Camp has good video tutorials https://alchemist.camp

Also this blog post helped my understanding http://www.petecorey.com/blog/2019/05/20/minimum-viable-phoe...

Phoenix LiveView [0] is really exciting to try out in Elixir. I'd recommend building an auto updating dashboard.

I had a micro controller that had various sensors on it that I connected to over a serial port using circuits_uart[1]. I then read the sensor values and displayed them on a LiveView dashboard. Totally pointless but super fun :)

Sidenote. If anyone has any Elixir freelancing work I can do send me an email. Email in my HN bio.

Thanks fellow person. The idea of having a project-based course like Alchemist is just was I was looking for.
Great to hear! Feel free to ask questions on the site if you get stuck anywhere.

Or, if you want to dive straight into the free screencasts, this YT playlist has them in order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3JRv2dHU9A&list=PLFhQVxlaKQ...

if you like coding the happy path, you'll really like elixir!
