Dive deep into the world of functional programming with Elixir and build stable applications with the Phoenix framework. 🔊 This workshop will be hosted by Local.foundation members Lenz Gschwendtner and Sérgio Henriques, who will accompany you and assist you through the day. 💪 The event is sponsored by our friends at Contentserv which provided us the venue for the event and infrastructural support and by Local.Foundation for creating and sharing Elixir's workshop with us and hopefully put the starting blocks of an Elixir community in the Algarve. Designed for developers of all levels, this event promises to enhance your programming skills and expand your understanding of Elixir. 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, we will focus on Elixir, a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. Topics will focus on pattern matching, immutability, and concurrency. After lunch break, from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM will be dedicated to the Phoenix framework, Elixir's high-performance web framework. Build robust, real-time web applications using Phoenix. Leverage Phoenix's powerful features, such as channels for real-time communication and its comprehensive router for building scalable web interfaces. Afterwards we'll have a networking opportunity, exchange knowledge, share contacts and make friends while having coffee, proper dev experience way 😁 So please plan your Saturday with us, we have cookies and Elixir gifts to share. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

O primeiro encontro das Geek Girls Portugal no Algarve em 2024 vai ser nas instalações da Turbine Kreuzberg em Faro no dia 15 de Maio! Neste encontro vamos conhecer a Rita Pacheco, que nos vai falar um pouco do seu percurso profissional e do seu papel como QA em Quality Assurance. Sobre a talk: "Quando integramos uma equipa de desenvolvimento de software que trabalha com a metodologia Agile, o QA representa uma peça fundamental na garantia de qualidade da entrega do produto final. A responsabilidade vai além da deteção de Bugs, acabando por ser muitas vezes o desbloqueador de obstáculos que se vão encontrando ao longo das sprints, facilitando a comunicação e o entendimento do que é pretendido com uma visão 360º do projecto final." A nossa segunda oradora chama-se Ana Picoito e a sua apresentação vai-se focar no Storyblok, uma ferramenta que nos ajuda a delegar decisões de design enquanto developers focam naquilo que realmente amam: programação. Sobre a talk: "Imagina: Queres construir um site, mas sofres de paralisia de decisão e estás preso há 3 semanas a tentar decidir sobre a paleta de cores ou a melhor font. Apresento-te o Storyblok, a ferramenta que nos ajuda a delegar essa responsabilidade para outra pessoa e a focar no que amamos: programar." Como sempre, a inscrição é gratuita mas com vagas limitadas. Então, não percas a tua vaga! _________________________________________________________________________ Agenda 18h00 – Bebidas e petiscos de boas-vindas 18h30 - Apresentação das Geek Girls Portugal 18h45 - "Quality Assurance: Uma visão integrada do papel de QA em metodologias Agile" - Rita Pacheco 19h15 - "Storyblok: My frontend wingman" - Ana Picoito 19h45 - Apresentação da Turbine Kreuzberg 20h00 - Networking / Encerramento Nota: Todas as apresentações serão em português!
