Functional Firmware with Nerves

Andrew Harvey

In this talk we will explore Nerves, the Elixir framework for building and deploying embedded software. Nerves is the easiest way to deploy Elixir to the Raspberry Pi or the Beaglebone.

Ecto 2.1 Tips and Tricks

James Sadler · Alembic

If you want to talk to a datastore, you’re going to want to make friends with Ecto. It lets you compose query fragments with ease, and takes advantage of powerful Postgres features like Upserts. We’ll do a quick intro, and then take a deeper look at these new features.

Up next · 7:30

What's New in Phoenix 1.3

Josh Price · Alembic

Phoenix 1.3 has just been released and there are lots of new changes. The project structure is significantly different and guide developers in the right direction for the best way to structure applications. We'll take a look at this and all the other cool new features.

That's a wrap

Thank you

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