Because we'll introduce ideas and concepts i n a way that will help you understand those things conceptually before y ou ever need a weird name for them. \;\n \;\nFood and drinks will be provided. There will also be small desk fodder prizes for the winni ng team. \;\n \;\nPlease make sure you come with a computer to wor k on and have Elixir pre-installed locally or in a VM and ready to go.&# 13\;\n \;\nhttp://elixir-lang.org/install.html \;\n \;\nSpecia l thanks to my friend Jeff Weiss and Puppet Labs\, ‘the leader in IT aut omation’\, for hosting us.\n\nTags: elixir\, erlang\, programming\, func tional programming\, ruby\, software\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250469988 URL:http://www.meetup.com/elixir-pdx/events/229761804/ SUMMARY:Elixir Games PDX - Get in the Zone LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
