This course aims to teach learners about the benefits of using Elixir for building fast backends that are future-proof. The course covers topics such as the fundamentals of Elixir, pattern matching, Erlang VM, deployment, WebSockets, GenServer, supervisors, and transitioning from object-oriented to functional programming. The teaching method involves a presentation by the CEO of DockYard, Brian Cardarella, recorded at GOTO Chicago 2017. The course is intended for developers and programmers interested in exploring Elixir as a robust choice for backend development in modern applications.
