Description

In the 'What?' section of the tutorial, there is Jessica Kerr's Why Elixir Should take over the world which is a great general talk on Elixir for context and then a video intro to Elixir (which covers some of the same ground as both Jessica Kerr's talk and this learning resource) from March 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lly-1UYmnFI&feature=youtu.be

With the momentum behind Elixir, are there any more recent videos that are also maybe also a bit more practical that we can include/replace here?

Research direction
The issue requests finding more recent video tutorials to replace or supplement the existing March 2014 video in the 'What?' section of the README. Look for modern Elixir tutorials (2016-2017) that are practical and up to date. Evaluate potential candidates and suggest replacements or additions, citing the specific section of the README.
