Smooth, powerful, and small, Elixir is an excellent language
for learning functional programming, and with this hands-on
introduction, you’ll discover just how powerful Elixir can be.
Authors Simon St. Laurent and J. David Eisenberg show you how
Elixir combines the robust functional programming of Erlang
with an approach that looks more like Ruby, and includes
powerful macro features for metaprogramming.

Updated to cover Elixir 1.4, the second edition of this
practical book helps you write simple Elixir programs by
teaching one skill at a time. Once you pick up pattern
matching, process-oriented programming, and other concepts,
you’ll understand why Elixir makes it easier to build
concurrent and resilient programs that scale up and down with
ease.
