Talks night @ TellCharlie

Hi folks,

It happens that around the time for a next meetup Bruce Williams is visiting Amsterdam. Bruce is (together with Ben Wilson) an author of the Absinthe hex package, which is the most popular GraphQL toolkit for Elixir. GraphQL seems to be so popular (Absinthe has +1.3M downloads), they even wrote a book on it: `Craft GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe`.

TellCharlie was happy to host us, funny enough our last meetup at this place was also about GraphQL 🤔

|> Important notes:

• TellCharlie will be making small videos for their quarterly updates, if you don't want to be included, please do tell us :)
• For security reasons we'd like to have real names (if you don't want to input your real name on meetup.com, please shoot us a message)

|> Making Absinthe:

Since its open source introduction in late 2015, GraphQL has rapidly gained in popularity, making its way into startups and enterprises, and being built into cloud platforms and databases. Elixir developers have been a part of it, using packages from the Absinthe project to add GraphQL APIs to their applications.

This talk will focus on how Absinthe can be integrated into your applications to add GraphQL APIs, where the project is headed next, and some lessons learned building and maintaining a popular Elixir project.

|> Bio:

Bruce Williams is the co-creator/maintainer of the Absinthe project, the GraphQL toolkit for Elixir, and co-author of "Craft GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe," published by The Pragmatic Bookshelf in 2018.

Bruce works at GitHub, where he focuses on application architecture and API design.
