March Edition

In January we started the hh.ex vindinium challenge. Today we want to find the best vindinium bot written in Elixir, and maybe the best vindinium contender in general terms. If you have participated in the past, please bring your laptop and be prepared, if you haven't do bother, just grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Afterwards I hope we will get a great talk about something completely different but awesome Elixir topic.

Thus we have the following agenda:

• 18:00 Open the doors
• 18:30 Welcome
• The grand hh.ex vindinium challenge tournament
• Blog engine with live previews in Elixir (details below) by Erik Müller (https://github.com/erikmueller)
• Hang out and have beers, coke, mate or whats-o-ever 🍻

🎉 We will have snacks and drinks 🎉

Details for the Static Site Generators with Elixir talk:

The starting point is a bare phoenix server w/o Ecto. I have 2 workers, an Agent and a GenServer. The Agent reads a directory, of markdown files, turns them into a list of %Post{} structs and provides some calls to get and update them. The GenServer acts as a file watcher calling the Agent's state manipulation methods whenever an md file changes. Basically a poor mans blog engine with live compiling.
