Have you heard of Phoenix? Phoenix is a framework for building HTML5 apps, API backends and distributed systems. Written in Elixir.

http://www.phoenixframework.org/

Seve Salazar of HouseHappy.org will walk us through creating a simple but real(wish)-world JSON API using Phoenix and deploying it to production as an OTP application. It will cover usage of Ecto, rendering JSON from a controller, integrating with StatsD using Exometer, and finally using edeliver to ship it to production.

You’ve heard about Elixir’s and Phoenix’s scalabililty, performance and simplicity and how it can be used for websites, micro services, APIs and embedded IoT devices. But you may not be sure how to get started or if you’d enjoy it.

This is an informal hands on workshop to get people familiar with the basics of Elixir and Phoenix.

There is no charge to attend and all are welcome but space is limited so please register so that we plan accordingly.

Thanks.
