“Elm taught me to write code 10 years after my Teachers taught me how to write code” - Alex Nicol
Tonight we are delighted to have a brand new talk from long time Brighton Web Development Meetup member and previous speaker Alex Nicol.
In this presentation, Alex will share how a particular programming language, Elm which is a type strict, purely functional language, changed the way he approaches software design.
Elm has also changed what Alex expects programming language tools to do for him as a developer; and ultimately how Alex believes that Elm made him a better web developer.
