Pattern matching is a really powerful language feature. It is built in to almost every corner or Elixir. In order for you to even read Elixir code and follow along, you have to understand Pattern Matching.

Once you “get" pattern matching, it feels like a super power. Pattern Matching makes new patterns of coding possible. You start to unlearn some of the patterns you’ve used in other languages because now you can create even clearer and more elegant code than was possible before!

Mastering pattern matching is a game changer!

The Pattern Matching course covers:

  • IEx - Elixir's Interactive Shell
  • Basic data types
  • Pattern matching basics
  • Pattern matching with function bodies
  • TDD - Test Driven Development exercises
  • Guard clauses

Additionally, after completing the course you can download most of the course content as a PDF. The PDF is a ready, portable reference you can easily search and refer back to as needed.
