This video was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2022 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2022/ Learning Erlang and Elixir through Exercism and Advent of Code | Adolfo Neto - Associate Professor at the Federal University of Technology and creator of Elixir Em Foco Podcast ABSTRACT There are several good free resources for learning Erlang and Elixir. In the past few months, I have been using Exercism and the discussions on Advent of Code problems (at Elixir Forum and Erlang Forums) to learn more about those two languages. These two learning resources provide a very active way of learning the basics of these languages. In this talk, I will discuss some of what I learned recently and I will also say which one I think is the best option for beginners. OBJECTIVES Viewers will understand the fundamental differences between Exercism and Advent of Code and will be able to choose which one (or both) will they use for their own learning. AUDIENCE Programmers, either newbies or intermediate, who want to learn the best ways of solving problems using Elixir or Erlang. • Timecodes 00:00 - 02:17 - Intro 02:18 - 03:44 - Which are the Difficulties in Learning Elixir and Erlang? 03:45 - 05:45 - What Helps? 05:46 - 06:42 - Which is most used? 06:43 - 12:45 - What is the Advent of Code? 12:46 - 16:57 - What is Excercism? 16:58 - 19:51 - Good/Bad in AoC 19:52 - 21:23 - Good/Bad in Exercism 21:24 - 24:27 - What have I learned? 24:28 - 25:22 - How to Use AoC to Learn Erlang and Elixir? 25:23 - 28:39 - How to Use Excercism to Learn Erlang and Elixir? 28:40 - 33:11 - QnA • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?
