gradient VS curriculum

If you're into trying out static typing in Elixir, please check out https://github.com/esl/gradient. It's still experimental, but already functional. We're happy to get any feedback or, better yet, contributions.

If you're looking for compile-time (or actually check-time) feedback you might be interested in Gradient, a gradual type checker for Elixir and a frontend to Gradualizer. These tools, while experimental, allow for applying "making illegal states unrepresentable" principle thanks to exhaustiveness checking. In general, they are more akin to the ML-style type checking than Dialyzer is.

Look into https://github.com/DockYard-Academy/curriculum to learn with Livebook.

For someone completely new to development Dockyard academy course resources [0] are open source and an excellent showcase for livebook.

For an experienced dev wanting to pick up Elixir I would suggest picking up Elixir in Action [1]. The third edition is currently in MEAP. Much more concise and great discussion of some Erlang/OTP internals too.

Whether there are better learning resources. I think I bought a membership to educative.io not only for Elixir, but also for other topics such as Python, information security, cryptography, server management, data structures, etc. I can browse aimlessly on it. This is the main reason why I bought it. If educative.io only provided Elixir resources, I wouldn't have bought it. In fact, there are better and cheaper alternatives. For example, DockYard-Academy, they are now making their course content available for free!
