Elixir Language

What’s inside

• Foundations — Setup and the BEAM, immutability, the match operator, multi-clause functions, the pipe operator, and case, cond and with
• The Data Layer — Lists, tuples, keyword lists and maps, the Enum module, binaries and strings, structs, and atoms and the tagged tuple
• The Functional Core — Recursion and the accumulator, comprehensions, higher-order functions and captures, and lazy Streams
• The Seam Layer — Protocols and behaviours, Mix and documentation, two-channel error handling, and sigils and a first macro
• BEAM Architecture — Processes, mailboxes and the actor model, then GenServer, supervisors and the let-it-crash philosophy
• The Ecosystem — The libraries that matter in practice: Jason, Req, Ecto, Phoenix, and Oban
• Runnable code, trap-annotated — the idiomatic way and the classic traps met in safety first, with a practice challenge and a harder bonus in every chapter
• 3 Capstone Projects — a CLI Task Manager, a multi-process Chat Room, and a Mini Language interpreter, each with a full Solutions & Explanations chapter
