Programming Elixir or Elixir in Action?

Reading Programming Elixir 1.6 book, I’ve completed part 1 of the book. Now I’m thinking of reading Elixir in Action. What do you all suggest?

So far, Elixir in Action has been pretty good. It is giving a better foundation in the language. I started going through Designing Elixir Systems with OTP and it is a little more advanced than what I needed initially so I have put it on pause until I get through Elixir in Action.

So far, I’m REALLY liking the language!

I just realized, “Programming Elixir” is missing from my shelf. I wonder how that happened! I usually buy PragProg Elixir books with no questions asked. It is a really good book and my friends who read it had only good things to say about it.

Elixir in Action is not just one of the best Elixir books out there, but one of the best beginner-to-intermediate programming books, in any language (in my opinion). I had to good fortune of reviewing the second edition of the book and when I read it again after it was published, I still felt enlightened. This is a must read IMO.
