Elixir Coding Workshop

Please join us for a coding workshop on the Elixir programming language.

About Elixir:

Elixir is a new programming language which started as an R&D project of Plataformatec and now used by companies such as The Bleacher Report, Pinterest, Moz, Expert360, Culture Amp and many others! (The syntax can appear Ruby-like and beginners may appreciate some of the similarities here)
