Commanding the Elm Architecture w/Kyle Kress

About This Webinar

In front-end development, we have a library overload problem. The community is telling us that best practices revolve around pulling in even more libraries to our JavaScript application; those libraries and tools often look a bit like this: Redux, React, Babel, Flow, Immutable/Ramda/Lodash, ESLint, and competing testing frameworks.

While the community is definitely on to something – with immutability, un-encapsulation, embracing lambdas, typing (gradual or otherwise), and focusing on proper state management – what if there was an alternative, a frictionless language that wrapped up all of these concepts into its core without the need of bolting more libraries on top of JavaScript to make it behave in a way that it doesn’t come out of the box?

In this talk, we will do a brief fly-by over how and why front-end has evolved, present Elm as an alternative to all these little moving pieces in the current front-end toolbelt, and talk about the strengths of doing it at the language level through some live coding examples.

Wizard of Elm
In the ivory towers of Boulder, one greybeard is about to complete a journey on few souls have even dared to go. To release a production Elm app is desired by many, but their fear prevents them slaying the project magicite to venture into the land of purity …and rainbows. This is the battle—the battle for the Silicon Throne.
