001: ElixirRuhr - Where to start?

Where to start?

• You are interested in learning Elixir, but you don't really know where to start?

• You have hacked a few lines of Elixir but you don't get the whole picture?

• You are running Elixir in production and want to share your experiences with other?

• You are part of the Erlang galaxy and just want to hang around with some Alchemists to close the gap between the two universes?

If your answer to one or more of these questions is YES, you should definitively join us!

Constantin (@ConstantinRack (https://twitter.com/ConstantinRack)) creates software for over 20 years. In 2014, he stumbled upon Elixir and was immediately captivated. If time permits he contributes to various open source projects, for example his well-known Quantum library, a cron-like job scheduler for Elixir.

About Quantum (https://github.com/c-rack/quantum-elixir): Quantum allows you to schedule tasks in a Cron-like fashion for your next Elixir project.

About JErlang (https://github.com/jerlang/jerlang): One of his ongoing challenges is to port Erlang and its OTP to the Java VM including full BEAM opcode support.
