Rebar3

Unlock the full capabilities of Erlang's new software management tool, rebar3. This talk will explore some of the basic functionality in the tool including managing dependencies, compiling a project, running tests, packaging and publishing your code to hex.pm.

But rebar3 can do more! Have you ever wanted to change how rebar handles a certain task? Now you can! We cover how to write plugins to modify and extend rebar's behaviors and how to create template files so rebar can help you start new code projects quickly and easily.

Finally, we will spend a few moments talking about how to provide rebar2 compatibility from a rebar3 project. Don't keep using the same old thing - now there's something better!
