Context inside and outside of Phoenix

Topic:

Phoenix 1.3 introduced the concept of Contexts to Phoenix. Unlike a lot of framework code, Contexts are focused first and foremost on helping you think about design. Contexts help you decompose your application into maintainable chunks that can be worked on independently and potentially split into separate OTP apps and releases later. We'll cover what makes a good Context and how they differ from how you design the individual framework components like controllers, schemas, views, and templates and how those components are allowed to interact with Contexts to ensure that Context serve their design purpose - decomposition and isolation. We'll also cover how Contexts differ from OTP Applications. Finally, we show how Context aren't unique to Phoenix and are a good design tool in any code.

Location:

Go to Capital Factory's 1st floor front desk (the big room with the robot head across from the hotel bar) and ask for the Austin Elixir meetup room (usually Wall-E on the first floor) and they'll point you in the right direction. You might want to stop by the front desk to get to the parking validation ticket before the meetup too.

Parking:

Capital Factory has validated parking: when you go to the 1st or 16th floor ask the front desk for a parking voucher. The parking voucher will let you park for 50% off from 5pm-10pm (so ~$15 instead of ~$30) in the Omni Hotel garage under Capital Factory. To get into the garage turn north on Brazos from 7th Street. The garage entrance is the first downward ramp on the right at 733 Brazos (Street view https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2689199,-97.740976,3a,75y,88.67h,84.37t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6eYOcptw_oovfL-UUMEM1Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 )
