OTP Training for Elixir Programmers - Europe
Event Information
About this event
Learn how to scale your Elixir to billions. So you’ve built and deployed a Phoenix application backed by Ecto and Postgres, and come to the conclusion that you love it! This three-days online training is perfect for you to progress to the next level and help you understand what happens behind the scenes when building applications using OTP behaviours. Learn about the battle-tested abstractions needed to build back-end, fault-tolerant systems that will run for years and scale to billions of users. We’ll have plenty of time to work on labs along the way as you hone your skills and put the theory into practice. About half of the class is either lab work or coding side-by-side with your instructor.
