## What it is
The content repository behind Elixir School, a free online curriculum of lessons for learning the Elixir programming language, published at elixirschool.com. Lessons are Markdown files with metadata, translated into 25+ languages by volunteers, plus community blog posts powered by Phoenix and NimblePublisher.

## Use cases
- learn the Elixir programming language from scratch
- find translated Elixir tutorials in my native language
- contribute a new lesson translation to Elixir School
- track which lesson translations are outdated or missing
- publish a blog post about Elixir on Elixir School

## When to choose
- you want free, community-maintained Elixir lessons in many languages
- you want to contribute translations or educational content to the Elixir ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need the website code itself rather than lesson content (use the school_house repo)
- you need interactive exercises or a paid structured course

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown
- domain: tutorials, programming-languages, education
- platform: elixir
- tags: elixir, lessons, translations, educational-content, community-driven, localization, web-server
