Hands on workshop: Elm Architecture + PostgreSQL

Presenter: Diogo Biazus

Workshop: Building a simple SPA with PostgREST+Elm

Using PostgREST ( http://postgrest.com/ ) as a backend API let's code a search form and a list of results in a hands-on workshop. This will give you an overview of Elm architecture as seen in the Elm tutorial ( http://www.elm-tutorial.org/ ) and a couple of tricks for full-text search on a PostgreSQL database.

What you will need:

• A PostgreSQL client application, psql is fine if you are ok with the command line, SQLTabs ( http://www.sqltabs.com/ ) or PgAdmin ( http://pgadmin.org/ ) are suggested as GUIs.

• The Elm toolchain ( http://elm-lang.org/install ).

• Your code editor of choice, if you don't have one Atom ( https://atom.io/ ) with the elm plugins is a good start.

Note that the backend servers will be provided, so no need to install database stuff ;)
