The getting started (http://elixir-lang.org/getting_started/1.html) guide is pretty good I think and will take you quite a ways in. Elixir does not yet have the mature frameworks and libraries to compete with Ruby for developing web applications though it could be a pretty good choice for developing APIs. Today the main advantage is if you want the functionality of Erlang/OTP with more powerful support for meta-programming to cut down on boilerplate and polymorphism.
