Elixir - a functional language that is lightning fast and looks like Ruby

This event will be all about Elixir, a functional programming language built on top of the Erlang VM.

We have two presentations planned to introduce you to the language itself and also to the Phoenix web framework. In addition we'll have a short live coding session using TDD in Elixir.

6:30pm - food and socialising

7pm - start of the talks
