Getting into frontend development could be overwhelming. I recently started learning more about frontend development. My intent is to build some static websites to try out things like IPFS [http://ipfs.io]. I wanted to have a productive workflow that allows me to create project, build it, test it, run

> use just calls the __using__ macro on the specified module. You might have run into that explanation of use but that does not explain much even though that's exactly what it does. You might have used the use statement in Elixir if you run into using OTP, Phoenix, Ecto or

React [http://facebook.github.io/react] is one of the frontend framework that everyone is talking about these days. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and also learn a modern JS framework in the process, hence I used React in building filecha.in [http://filecha.in]

WebRTC was created primarily for video and voice communication but it has the API to send raw binary data between two browsers as well. This opens up a lot of opportunities to create more peer to peer web application which are supported by modern browser. There are already a lot

Dealing with binary data has always been a pickle in OOP language. Pattern matching is very fundamental to Elixir making the functions much more descriptive. I was very pleased to see that the pattern matching was not just limited to tuple, list etc. but extended to binary data as well.

Ok, lets be clear; this post is not about immortality, that will be for next time :). Instead its about transitioning to a combination of Emacs, Vim and Alchemist for an awesome development experience for Elixir. My setup for development in Elixir relied upon combination of Vim and Tmux, as for

I recently had to start a service in Ubuntu server but I wanted it to be reliable. By reliable I mean it should be restarted in case of any failure and on machine restart as well. I stumbled upon UpStart which comes by default with Ubuntu and does exaclty what

This post is not about what monads are, I expect that you already know about them. The post is to see how you can use monads in Elixir using already created libraries. Monads are a great way of handling side effect in functional language. It makes the code much more
