Because we'll introduce ideas and concepts in a way that will help you understand those things conceptually before you ever need a weird name for them.</p> <p>Food and drinks will be provided. There will also be small desk fodder prizes for the winning team.</p> <p>Please make sure you come with a computer to work on and have Elixir pre-installed locally or in a VM and ready to go.</p> <p><a href="http://elixir-lang.org/install.html">http://elixir-lang.org/install.html</a></p> <p>Special thanks to my friend Jeff Weiss and Puppet Labs, ‘the leader in IT automation’, for hosting us.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/elixir-pdx/events/229761804/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
