Introduction to Elixir // Why we LOVE Elixir

Happy New Year!

For the first meetup of the year we have a few talks and a code kata scheduled. Introduction to Elixir

"Introduction to Elixir"

Stephen McCullough (@swmcc) will give an intro to Elixir, why it should be used and what it can be used for (with practical examples).

"Learning Elixir & Phoenix to implement a connected cyclist tracking application"

Matt Cree decided to learn elixir and phoenix to implement a connected cyclist tracking app.

"Why I love Elixir?"

Why not start the year by joining in this talk? Give a quick 5/10min presentation on why you love Elixir and what you are currently doing? Doesn't matter what your skill level is - from a complex OTP application to a 'Hello World'. All Welcome.

Code Kata

After the talks Steven Holdsworth (@holsee) will guide us through a code kata.
