Andy Balaam takes you through all the syntax and basic ideas in Elm as a general programming language, not covering the Elm Architecture, but just how to read the code, make values and functions and combine them together. Tries to explain for someone more used to a language like JavaScript, Python, Java or C++ why Elm code looks different, and how to recognise the different structures.
