The past month I have been going through the Elixir exercism.io track https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir

It is really excellent!



whats so excellent about it? i tried their ruby, swift and python tracks and i was left with a meh. i tried 30% of the Ruby path for instance and its just "do this" and " if you get stuck here are the docs".... and it calls itself " a learning path", there is nothing to learn.


What's excellent about it is that almost all exercises do not just include the problem statement, but also an explanation of Elixir syntax and standard libraries. There's also a ton of resources to in-depth resources. And there are extensive dependencies configured between exercises so you learn everything in a gradual way.

So all in all, a lot of love and effort has been poured into the Elixir track specifically.
