By coding along with us in the Workshop, you'll:
Elm is a cutting-edge functional programming language that you can use either in place of JavaScript, or alongside it. Its amazing compiler catches errors before you even run your code—so effectively that Elm code has a reputation for never crashing.
Come join Richard Feldman and learn how to build Elm applications from zero to production-ready. Find out why people say that learning Elm changed the way they wrote code in other languagesfor the better!
We've already held over 60 workshops holding thousands attendees in-person and online. In this time we've discovered ways to schedule the day so it goes smoothly and efficiently.
Regardless if you're in-person or participating with us online you'll have the full ability to replay things you missed, get your questions answered LIVE and interact with the teacher throughout the day.
We'll begin Day One with an overview of Elm's benefits and syntax, then move on to building something with it. We'll write, refactor, and debug an Elm UI for searching GitHub repositories using their API. We'll end the day by interoperating with a JavaScript library.

This workshop is for you if you're comfortable with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. The material assumes no prior Elm knowledge, familiarity with any particular JavaScript frameworks, or any functional programming experience.
The workshop often uses JavaScript as a comparison point, to illustrate how concepts in Elm work differently than they do in JavaScript.
