Why
defmodule Knowldge do use GenServer def init(_) do {:ok, %{skill:
0}} end def handle_call(:over_nine_thousand, _from, skill_state) do new_skills = %{skill_state | skill: 9001} {:reply, new_skills, new_skills} end end iex(1)> {:ok, pid} = GenServer.start_link(Knowldge, []) {:ok, #PID<0.80.0>} iex(2)> GenServer.call(pid, :over_nine_thousand) %{skill: 9001}
Expose yourself to another way of thinking
Find new interesting ways to solve the familiar problems
Reinforce knowledge you already have
Find better tools for the job
Experience at Blake ☞ Haskell ☞ Elixir
Haskell
Haskell is hard
First real exposure to functional programming.
Learned a lot (heaps).
Helped inspire ✨Hopscotch✨
Elixir the future ™
Thanks.

How we do it
Small groups
Achievable work load
All working on same thing
At the same place (generally)
Group Learning ☞ people naturally have different interest ☞ people
will learn different things ☞ people help hold you accountable to do your part ☞ great for quick feedback for help ☞ as a collective group, you can solve bigger problems
We started with Exercism.io ☞ TDD (test pre written) ☞
small units of work ☞ 30mins - 2hrs per question ☞ great to get feedback ☞ completed homework required at the door
Read Books ☞ help reinforce the basics ☞ explain in
depth which aids in understanding ☞ actually work through the books (no copy/pasta)
Explored the complex parts ☞ GenServer/GenFSM ☞ Supervisor/Applications ☞ Multi-Node
☞ Deployments
Advanced to custom projects
