We invite you to pass an online training “OTP in Elixir”.
It is an online 6 hours training splitted on 2 days Friday and Saturday.
Concurrency, resiliency, and fault-tolerance are among the most appreciated and praised features in Elixir (and Erlang, which is where they came from). A big reason why these features are so prominent in Erlang and Elixir is because Erlang and Elixir provide great abstractions to build concurrent, reliable, and fault-tolerant systems. Most of these abstractions are shipped as a big library called OTP.
OTP (Open Telecom Platform) is the library that provides abstractions such as gen_server, gen_statem, supervisor, and others. Learning how these behaviours work and how to use them to your advantage is key for leveraging the power of Elixir (and Erlang).
● Process primitives: spawn, send, receive
● Links: how to link processes together to represent dependencies between processes
● Monitoring: how to monitor other processes to know about their lifecycle
● Building our own version of a process that can hold state and update it on demand
● Building our own rudimental GenServer
● Building our own rudimental supervisor
● OTP supervisors: children, strategies, other options
● Supervision trees and nesting supervisors:
— Creating “subtrees” to represent isolated areas of your application
— Designing supervisors to contain failures as much as possible
— Understanding the role of supervisors better
— Understanding cases when to use supervision for being resilient compared to when to write code for handling expected failure cases

The training will be held by Andrea Leopardi, member of the core team of the Elixir programming language, Software architect at Community.
Andrea is author of 4 trainings and co-author of 1 training. Also Andrea has given more than 30 talks at the conferences since 2015.
Join the training and develop your skills in Elixir (and Erlang) programming.
