Setting Up

• First, you'll need to ensure you have Elixir installed on your computer. This workshop requires that you have version 1.4 installed, which requires Erlang v18.

• Next, clone this project

git clone https://github.com/mike-works/elixir-fundamentals.git myelixir

• Then, go into the project and install dependencies

cd myelixir
mix deps.get

Development Environment

Setup a development environment that includes Elixir syntax hilighting. I recommend Visual Studio Code with the following plugins

• vscode-elixir - for syntax hilighting and intellisense (autocomplete) of Elixir and Erlang core libraries.
• Code Runner - for quick execution of code snippets
• Dark+ Elixir (color theme) - highlights some important parts of the language syntax more prominently than many default themes

License

While the general license for this project is the BSD 3-clause, the exercises themselves are proprietary and are licensed on a per-individual basis, usually as a result of purchasing a ticket to a public workshop, or being a participant in a private training.

Here are some guidelines for things that are OK and NOT OK, based on our understanding of how these licenses work:

OK

• Using everything in this project other than the exercises (or accompanying tests) to build a project used for your own free or commercial training material
• Copying code from build scripts, configuration files, tests and development harnesses that are not part of the exercises specifically, for your own projects
• As an owner of an individual license, using code from tests, exercises, or exercise solutions for your own non-training-related project.

NOT OK (without express written consent)

• Using this project, or any subset of exercises contained within this project to run your own workshops
• Writing a book that uses the code for these exercises
• Recording a screencast that contains one or more of this project's exercises
