The DockYard Academy curriculum is an open source Elixir curriculum built with Livebook. We're proud to offer our open-source curriculum free of charge for anyone to learn from at their own pace.
We also offer a paid course where you can learn from an instructor alongside a cohort of your peers. Applications will be accepted soon.
Email the instructor Brooklin at brooklin.myers@dockyard.com or direct message @BrooklinJMyers on Twitter if you would like more information.
While we strongly recommend the Visual Studio Code editor for its LiveShare capability, you may use any code editor you prefer.
This course is intended to be approachable to students with no computer science background.
