September meetup

Hi Folks,

Summer is almost over, so it's due time for another Elixir meetup. This time the lovely folks from Impraise are hosting us, while Moose Code is providing drinks & food.

We currently have 2 talks lined up, but there's enough room for lightning talks. To encourage you a bit, we have a raffle for the participants! Lightning talks take up 5min max, so I hope it's not hard to come up with something you'd like to share, perhaps it's a nice library/pattern you discovered, a pet peeve which should be addressed or something else Elixir/BEAM related. One important exception: no recruiting messages ;)

|> Important notes:

We're introducing a Code of Conduct in order to make sure everyone enjoys our events. We still have some details to sort out, but you'll find it on https://github.com/amselixir/community/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

|> Meet the Clustorage package - Paul Engel

When writing software, we always have to be as fast as possbile because time's a wastin'.
A good example are template engines: as interpretation (and thus computation) takes time, code gets compiled based on the template.
In Elixir of course, there is EEx that provides such capabilities and there is a package called FastGlobal that facilitates fast no copy globals.
Paul will talk about Elixir code compilation and his package Clustorage which takes it to the next level using cluster nodes and hot code loading.

|> CQRS/ES & Elixir: What, why and how - Bertrand Dubaut

CQRS/ES is not a new architecture pattern per say, but not a lot of companies are using it. We’ll look into what it is, why one might want to use it, and how to implement it with our favorite programming language.
