Intro to Nerves, Elixir's embedded toolkit

Mat Trudel

Mat will walk through a simple Hello World project on a Raspberry Pi, and give a few examples of what Nerves can do beyond just flashing LEDs. It'll be fun!

LiveCoding in LiveView or How I gave myself superpowers

Max Veytsman - https://max.computer/

Abstract: LiveView has come a long way since it was first announced last year, and is now part of the standard Phoenix distribution. Over the past two months I've been using it to build a dispatching system that we use at the Toronto Bike Brigade (https://www.bikebrigade.ca/) to deliver over a hundred boxes of food a week to people in need.

It feels like LiveView has given me superpowers, I'm able to ship features much much faster than I ever have in traditional Phoenix apps or Rails.

This is about my experiences building a messaging system in LiveView
