Learn the basics of Elixir, along with advanced concepts such as OTP servers and multiple processes.

Become an Elixir Programmer

In this module, we’ll learn everything we need to know to start working with Elixir, including processing collections, using multiple tools, and working with OTP servers. Programmers usually learn by writing code, and that’s exactly how this module will also work. We'll practice a lot of coding examples that will help us get a strong grip on Elixir.

Master the Art of Programming in Elixir


There’s an important question we should ask: When do we use agents and tasks, and when do we use a  `GenServer`?

# Solution


The answer is to use the simplest approach that works:
- Agents and tasks are great when we’re dealing with very specific background activities.
- `GenServer`, as its name suggests is more general.



Learn when to use the agent and task approach and when to use the GenServer approach.
