Elm Utrecht Meetup October

Hi there!

I am super happy to announce the revival of the Elm Netherlands Meetup!
After a year of silence, it is time to meet again and enjoy 0.19 all together :).

To kick this first event, we will have the chance to listen to two speakers :

Jordy (https://twitter.com/JordyMoos) will do the first talk, and will talk to us about his experience with the new 0.19 version. Here is a short abstract:

Code splitting? How unnecessary in Elm 0.19!
Elm 0.19 is out! But what does that mean? What impact has Elm 0.19 on our codebase? Why would we bother upgrading to the new version?

In this talk we checkout the benefits of Elm 0.19. See what is changed in the library and the tooling. After that we discuss how to upgrade your code from 0.18 to 0.19. To bring the theory to practice we conclude with live upgrading a codebase.

Hopefully upgrading goes smoothly because we only have 30 minutes for all of this!

Then, Swen (https://twitter.com/Swendude) will make us dive into functional programming with some live coding.

From recursion to maps and folds:
Most Imperative programming languages solve working with lists through iterators & loops. Moving into functional programming it might look like a functional language (like Elm) requires arcane knowledge of folding, mapping, reducing and recursion.
We will attempt to demystify these concepts by discovering their implementation from scratch and looking at how Elm handles these concepts.

The meetup starts at 19:00 (doors will open at 18:30) and we will probably finish around 21:00.

The beer and pizzas, as well as the location is provided by the guys at Brightin. Thanks for that!

We realize that usually Monday is not the best day for a Meetup, but what better than starting the week with some Elm!

Hoping to seeing lots of you soon!

Cheers,
Julien
