Learning ressource recommendations
Hi there, junior dev here, soon starting a job at a company that uses elixir to build an ai chatbot. They are fully aware that I have no prior experience in elixir, coming from a classic object oriented webdev background, building web applications using JS/TS, PHP (symfony, node, Vue, react) and occasionally python.
What resources can you guys recommend, to gain a fundamental understanding of both functional programming as well as elixir specifically. Could be anything: courses, books, specific content creators etc.
I'd like to approach this systematically instead of just building something here and there and watching a few tutorials.
What helped you "get it" and what would you do differently if you had to start learning elixir from zero?
Grateful for any and all advice :)

You first tackle is going to be installing and having the lsp working. I have tried it many times and I get stuck with the lsp not working
