An Elixir for the Web's Future

The web has evolved; has your tech stack?

The evolution of the web has been fueled by hacks, workarounds, and abuses. This evolution has spawned many tools and techniques along the way. This talk will reflect on the web's history and what it means for the web's future. Armed with this knowledge we will examine the functional programming language Elixir and how its philosophy so perfectly fits the future of the web. The technical part of the talk will examine the architecture and code of an example JavaScript (Backbone?) application using websockets for real time communication and collaboration with an Elixir backend.

Notes:

• Discuss history and future of web:

(Breakfast) Tacos

This is really a two meal recipe, with my favorite the second meal - breakfast!

You can prepare the meat either on the gril or in a crock pot. If you prepare on the grill buy better steak.

Ingredients

• Sweet Onion - Diced fine
• Steak.

JaSerializer Roadmap

The initial release of JaSerializer successfully accomplishes it's mission; it serializes data to jsonapi.org format.

Roadmap:

• Solidify/determine future of the DSL.
• Better Ecto integration.
• A Phoenix view integration.

alanpeabody

Relax DSL expansion.

Serialization has been moved to the JaSerializer library with the intent of improving the routing/resource DSL to provide more out of the box functionality.

Goals

• Super easy to create simple jsonapi.org compliant RESTful APIs.
• Standard Ecto models need little to no "wiring" to get working.
• Improved DSL for working with non Ecto models (eg: Mnesia, ETS, Riak, etc)
• Complete ability to override anything as needed.
