Lonestar ElixirConf

Course Description

We learn best by trying and playing. This course will let you do just that by giving you a small sandbox that expands throughout the day until you have a robust suite of tools to choose from.

In this fully lab-driven experience, you'll learn the Elixir basics. We'll build Mix projects to create a basic game, and then wrap those games for consumption from both modules and OTP processes. We will:

• Take a rapid tour through basic Elixir code constructs and data types
• Learn how to navigate the Elixir ecosystem to find documentation you need
• Write a basic project to make a game with an API layer
• Consume that game in a command line application
vConsume that game in an OTP application

This course is lab-based! You'll encounter 45 minutes of lab work for every 10 minutes of lecture. Come to write some code! Come to learn quickly!
