I enjoy the style that this book is written, and have already been on an Elixir self-study regimen. Question for author or anyone who’s gone through this already: the beginning seems to be very beginner oriented, is there added value later for experienced programmers coming from other languages?
It says “a gentle introduction to programming” so I think it’s for beginners.
If you are experienced in another language, you can get by by reading the official documentation’s guide in the Elixir website and messing around for a bit and going straight into OTP with a book like Little Elixir and OTP Guidebook. Aside from that, there’s the Elixir book on PragProg but I also found it too basic.

The LE&OG is a great find and just what I was looking for, thanks!
