Converting a Ruby app to Elixir

This month we have a great talk lined up:

Nigel will talk about his experiences converting an existing Ruby application to Elixir.

This talk is an introduction to Elixir, and will be the form of a walkthrough of an real-world application (AddressFinder). Nigel will talk about the differences between a language such as Elixir, when compared with Ruby, Javascript, C#, etc. This will be an interactive presentation with the opportunity to ask questions as we go.

Most of us are new to Elixir and working our way through tutorials or starting our first projects, often with Phoenix. So if you're new to Elixir this is the perfect event to be at, esp if you're a Rails developer!
