Workshop description:
This full-day workshop introduces the Ash Framework, a tool for building maintainable and scalable Elixir applications. Ash Framework is a refreshingly different way to craft efficient and maintainable Elixir applications. In this hands-on, interactive course, we’ll dive deep into Ash’s capabilities, exploring how it can streamline your development process and enhance your application’s architecture. Throughout this class, we’ll build a real-world application from the ground up, leveraging Ash’s unique features.
What you will learn:
-
Using Igniter to rapidly scaffold your Ash applications.
-
Structuring your Elixir projects with Ash for maximum maintainability
-
Designing flexible and powerful resources that model your domain effectively
-
Implementing actions that encapsulate complex business logic cleanly

Rapidly generating APIs and UIs driven from your Ash resources
-
Extending Ash to fit your specific project needs
-
Adopting Ash incrementally in existing applications
Target audience:
-
Software developers of all levels with Basic Elixir Skills
-
This tutorial is ideal for Elixir developers looking to take their skills to the next level. While we’ll cover Ash from the ground up, a working knowledge of Elixir will help you get the most out of this intensive, hands-on experience.
