Basic/Sequential/Concurrent Elixir
Parallel Programming
Introduction to OTP (GenServers and Supervisors)
Building, Documenting and Testing Systems using Mix

Course Outline:
Students will start by learning the basics of the Elixir language. Following that, the course turns to concurrency and students will learn the details of writing parallel and concurrent Elixir applications and the underlying concurrency capabilities provided by BEAM (the Erlang virtual machine). The course shows the right way to write concurrent applications that will scale by using OTP Behaviours. The course contains the following topics:

Background Erlang/Elixir
Elixir Shell
Sequential Elixir
Concurrent Elixir
Using Mix
Process Design Patterns
Process Error Handling
System introspection
Funs and High-order functions
Data structures (Maps, Structs, Binaries, Protocols)
List comprehensions
Language features and Macros
OTP and Behaviours
Generic Servers
Supervisors
Applications
