This workshop will take you from zero knowledge of the Elm programming language to being able to build a web app in it. First, we'll discuss the benefits of Elm, including its delightfully cohesive package ecosystem, excellent performance, and reputation for practically never crashing. Then we'll move on to language syntax, interaction, state management, testing, talking to servers, interoperating with JavaScript, and how to put them all together to build applications. Along the way, we'll discuss tips and tricks for getting the most out of the language, including the most successful techniques people use to get started using it at work.
