LFE from 0 to 120kph... in 45 Minutes
Come see a whirlwind tour of LFE in action as a full-fledged language running on the Erlang VM. LFE is capable of supporting the a complete development life-cycle for production-ready applications and services, from inception through iteration to deployment.
Talk Objectives
This talk will * provide an introduction to LFE, comparing to Erlang and other language syntaxes * introduce LFE dev processes, showing how to create new LFE projects and related tasks * give an overview of rebar plugins created with LFE * give an overview of creating libraries with LFE * give an overview of creating applications with LFE/OTP * demonstrate deploying LFE/OTP apps to a cloud * demonstrate running an LFE/OTP app in a production cloud * provide references to the covered materials in a manner that is easy to consume and reproduce
Target Audience
* Erlangers wishing to expand their horizons without leaving the Erlang VM * Clojurists and Lispers looking for easy-access to Erlang * The LFE-curious, wanting to see what 100% LFE software projects look like, from end-to-end * Any programmer for whom the "fringe" is too passé; for those who want to peer into the abyss of the fringe's fringe.
