School of Elixir - Spring 2020

Details

Every year we choose a topic around which we practice functional programming. The recent release of Phoenix v1.5, which got LiveView integration, inspired us to build a useful application with it. In our everyday work we often use a Planning Poker technique for estimating effort and size of our development tasks. A reliable tool for estimating, which can be used simultaneously by all team members, would be much appreciated, so let’s try!

The school is a series of 4 tutorial classes, two hours each. It aims at students and graduates interested in functional programming. To benefit from the classes you have to be familiar with the basics of Elixir, e.g. you read through the Crash Course at http://elixir-lang.org/crash-course.html.
