We're meeting on Monday 20th Feb at 7pm at madlab to learn Elixir!
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language with Ruby-like syntax that runs on the Erlang virtual machine. With first class support for concurrency, scalability, fault tolerance and high availability, all courtesy of its Erlang roots, it can be described as the language for today's real time, hyper-connected world.

In this short introduction to Elixir presented by Chi-chi Ekweozor, learn how to use the ubiquitous pipeline operator |> to consume functions as data, pattern matching, modules, lists and other language constructs. Level up and get writing distributed software applications that go beyond the browser on to mobile and the Internet of Things.

** Please note: Hands-on Session **
This is a hands-on session, to follow along please come with a laptop with Elixir pre-installed. There are instructions for installing Elixir and Erlang on most operating systems on the Elixir-lang website.
