Functional Katas, Elixir Special! (with Erlang & Elixir Ireland)
Details
For this katas session we're very excited to join with Erlang & Elixir Ireland (https://www.meetup.com/Erlang-Ireland/) to give you a taste of Elixir (https://elixir-lang.org/)!

So what are katas again?
Functional Katas are a fun way to practise coding, explore new programming languages and paradigms, whether you're new to programming or have a lot of experience.
We choose a simple problem to work on, then form groups to pair program on a solution for about an hour. Each group chooses a programming language that they want to work in. At the end, groups show their solutions for fun and (non-)profit. Laughs are had.
For this edition, we'll give you a hands-on chance to discover Elixir (or Erlang) together by working on a simple coding exercise well-suited to those languages, and pairing with mentors from the Erlang & Elixir meetup group!
I'm all in! Where and how?
Zendesk Dublin is graciously hosting us. Food and drinks will be provided. We're going to write code, so don't forget to bring a laptop!
If you have some previous experience with Elixir, please go and RSVP on the Erlang & Elixir corresponding meetup event here (https://www.meetup.com/Erlang-Ireland/events/240384031/) (you don't need to be an expert! if you've played with the language a bit before that's probably sufficient).
Otherwise, you can RSVP on this page as usual.
This will help us make groups with mixed levels of expertise.
