Speaker bio

I am developer and cofounder of Rendered Text, a company that you might know by Semaphore, hosted continuous integration service. I have been working with Rails since 2008, and got pushed into distributed systems arena while trying solve problems of fault-tolerant nodes, realtime updates and fast multi-node deployments that we were facing on Semaphore. While exploring distributed systems I discovered Elixir and joined the Phoenix core team.

Creating a blog in 15 minutes with Phoenix

  • Desired talk duration: 30 minutes

Abstract

Rails has established a norm in how easy and pleasant writing web applications can be. It helped enormously with establishing Ruby community and it's influence spread far beyond Ruby.

The Elixir programming language is a descendant of Ruby and the great ecosystem around it. It was created by José Valim, author of Devise gem and Rails core team member. Phoenix is a web framework written in Elixir which tries to incorporate many great practices from Rails but also go beyond by leveraging the distributed and parallel computing features of Elixir. I would like to introduce Phoenix to the Rails community by creating a blog application in the same way David Heinemeier Hansson introduced Rails with his famous screencast.

Notes

I have talked about Elixir and Erlang on local Ruby user group meetups, but not yet about Phoenix.
