The standard library a nd set of patterns that Elixir inherits from Erlang. \;\n \;\nThis time around we'll dive into something a bit more unique and powerful ab out Elixir itself. Macros! Macros\, macros everywhere. \;\n \;\n For the newcomers\, the "\;Games"\; format is designed to create a bit of friendly competition and is accessible for all ranges of exper ience\; beginners and pros alike. \;\n \;\nIf you'd like to take a look at the previous sessions' exercises feel free to check them out he re: https://github.com/elixir-pdx/\, some submitted solutions are availa ble on non-master branches. \;\n \;\nEarly in this series we'll b e focusing mostly on solving problems in a functional paradigm\, and as the series continues over time we'll move more and more toward Elixir's differentiators\; Erlang interop\, hygienic macros\, &\; OTP patterns . \;\n \;\nIf all 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 every thing will already make sense. Because we'll introduce ideas and concep ts in a way that will help you understand those things conceptually befo re you ever need a weird name for them. \;\n \;\nFood and drinks will be provided. There will also be small desk fodder prizes for the w inning team. \;\n \;\nPlease make sure you come with a computer to work on and have Elixir pre-installed locally or in a VM and ready to g o. \;\n \;\nhttp://elixir-lang.org/install.html \;\n \;\nSp ecial thanks to my friends Jeff Weiss\, Russell Mull and Puppet Labs\, ‘ the leader in IT automation’\, for hosting us.\n\nTags: elixir erlang fu nctional programming developer engineering software\n\nImported from: ht tp://calagator.org/events/1250468884 URL:http://www.meetup.com/elixir-pdx/events/224392442/ SUMMARY:Elixir Games PDX LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
