Elixir Girls Recap

Cath Jones

Cath will tell us all the great stuff that happened at the first event, what you can do to help mentor, and possibly hint at plans for the next one.

Up next · 7:00

Service Contracts in Phoenix

Garrett Heinlen

Phoenix 1.3 emphasises "Contexts" as a way of decoupling your application from your web interface. The next level of decoupling is using umbrella applications to enfore the service boundaries even further, while still maintaining an easy to work with system. Garrett will compare approaches and tell us why we need to separate the application from the web UI.

Up next · 7:30

Enum.reduce

Paul Fioravanti · Alembic

Paul will talk about the powerful and fundamental function in Enum, `reduce`. Definitely something you'll want in your functional programming toolkit.

That's a wrap

Thank you

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