Damnable misleading documentation! Howeve r that prompted a further conversation about GenServers and other compon ents of OTP (the Open Telecom Platform). In the spirit of learning and disambiguating things we'll take a deeper look at some of these architec tural patterns in Elixir and how they can help us better organize our pr ojects and design better systems. \;\n \;\nFor the newcomers\, the "\;Games"\; format is designed to create a bit of friendly comp etition and is accessible for all ranges of experience\; beginners and p ros alike. \;\n \;\nIf you'd like to take a look at the previous s essions' exercises feel free to check them out here: https://github.com/ elixir-pdx/\, some submitted solutions are available on non-master branc hes. \;\n \;\nEarly in this series we'll be focusing mostly on so lving problems in a functional paradigm\, and as the series continues ov er time we'll move more and more toward Elixir's differentiators\; Erlan g interop\, hygienic macros\, &\; OTP patterns. \;\n \;\nIf a ll that read like gibberish to you\, don't worry you don't have to know any of that jargon\, and by the time you do everything will already make sense. Because we'll introduce ideas and concepts in a way that will h elp you understand those things conceptually before you ever need a weir d name for them. \;\n \;\nFood and drinks will be provided. Ther e will also be small desk fodder prizes for the winning team. \;\n 3\;\nPlease make sure you come with a computer to work on and have Elixi r pre-installed locally or in a VM and ready to go. \;\n \;\nhttp: //elixir-lang.org/install.html \;\n \;\nSpecial thanks to my frie nds Jeff Weiss and Puppet Labs\, ‘the leader in IT automation’\, for hos ting us.\n\nTags: elixir\, erlang\, functional\, programming\, developer \, engineering\, software\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/ 1250468690 URL:http://www.meetup.com/elixir-pdx/events/223480254/ SUMMARY:Elixir Games PDX LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
