The Elm Language Workshop
Friday, 9:00 AM MDT - LONG'S PEAK (2ND FLOOR)
A wonderful workshop adventure with a wonderful language on the client side.
Entirely written in JavaScript it is meant as a wholesale replacement on the front end. Derived from Haskell, Elm is fast, elegant, and concise. Elm also hides much of the complexities away including side effect management, event management, and exception handling where the programmer, the happy programmer might I add just focuses on the core.
This workshop encompasses:
- Introduction
- Tools
- Packages and Semantic Versioning
- Language Basics
- Functions
- Module Manipulation
- Types
- Maybe
- Records
- The Elm Architecture
- Commands, Subscriptions, Tasks
- Embedding Elm
