Using the New Registry in Elixir 1.4

Martin Stannard

Elixir 1.4 introduces the new Process Registry module to help manage your processes in OTP. If you've attended our OTP introductory series then you'll be ready to join Martin as he shows us how we can use this in our Elixir OTP applications.

Up next · 7:00

Getting Comfortable With Recursion

Josh Price · Alembic

You might not be used to writing code in a recursive style if you're coming from a more imperative language. Heard of Tail Recursion or Tail Call Optimisation, but not sure what it really means? Josh will demystify writing recursive functions that are blazingly fast and help you avoid some of the traps.

Up next · 7:30

SG

Authentication with JWT

Sunil Gopinath

Need to secure your Phoenix or Plug application? Not sure how JWT works? Well there are lots of options in Elixir for adding security to your webapp. Sunil will introduce JWT and the various options for add Authentication to your app.

That's a wrap

Thank you

Thanks for coming. Stick around for a chat, and we're always after speakers, first-timers included.
