Marc Worrell is Giving the Following Talks
Zotonic, the Erlang web framework, at MaxClass
Zotonic is both an easy to use content management system and a powerful web framework. It's built on some of the best pieces of Erlang open source software, by experienced web developers. Zotonic comes with an incredible speed out-of-the-box, an extensible infrastructure and most of all, a friendly community. In the first part of this talk, we summarize the history and development of Zotonic, and give a short introduction to the data model and the architecture.
MaxClass is a social communication platform for education, connecting teachers, parents and pupils. We show why Zotonic - and Erlang in general - suited us best to implement MaxClass, and what challenges are we facing. Finally we take a look into the future development of Zotonic, to support our needs as a growing private social network.
