Chris McGrath will show us how to Elixir.

The most "different" aspect of Elixir (and Erlang) is the process model so in this workshop I want to introduce Elixir but also show off how OTP GenServers and Supervisors help you write clearer code that can recover when something goes wrong.

So we'll make a little app that consumes a dodgy API and see how we can separate the pure functional code from the impure and gracefully handle errors. There'll be a tour of the tooling Elixir provides and if there's enough time we'll try and stick a web interface on top.

If you haven't already installed Elixir the instructions are here: http://elixir-lang.org/install.html
