Manuel Rubio

Polyglot Developer, Writer, Manager and Trainer

Manuel is a developer since he was 12 years old (30 years ago) and he started with Basic, like others, but later also with Modula-2, Pascal, C, Assembler and these before 20 years old. In his professional career, he used Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, and last 14 years he was more on Erlang and 8 years ago he started with Elixir and Go. He can be considered a polyglot programmer and he loves to teach and mentor others.

He is also a fan of creating crazy projects like myproto, ephp or skirnir and helping with others like lambdapad.

ELIXIR BOOTCAMP: from apprentice to alchemist

OBJECTIVES

Basic/Sequential/Concurrent Elixir
Parallel programming
Building, Documenting and Testing Systems using Mix

PREREQUISITES

Good programming skills in another language such as Java, Perl, Python, node.js, or Ruby
Familiarity with server-side software development helpful

TARGET AUDIENCE

Software Developers and Engineers without prior experience in Elixir/Erlang/LFE.

COURSE OUTLINE

Students will start by learning the basics of the Elixir language. Following that, the course turns to concurrency and students will learn the details of writing parallel and concurrent Elixir applications and the underlying concurrency capabilities provided by BEAM (the Erlang virtual machine).

The course contains the following topics:

Background Erlang/Elixir
Elixir Shell
Sequential Elixir
Concurrent Elixir
Basic Mix
Process Design Patterns
Process Error Handling
System introspection
Funs and High-order functions
Data structures (Maps, Structs, Binaries, Protocols)
List comprehensions
Language features
Erlang Term Storage (ETS)
Distributed programming

OTP behaviours: Behind the scenes

So you've built and deployed a Phoenix application backed by Ecto and Postgres, and come to the conclusion that you love it. If you are looking at progressing to the next level, this hands-on training will help you get to the next level. In it, we will focus on building applications using OTP behaviours and architecture guidelines. Learn about the battle-tested abstractions needed to build back-end, fault-tolerant systems that will run for years and scale to billions of users.

OBJECTIVES

When you've completed this class, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to architect back-end systems and micro-services that you can access and use from Phoenix. Learn why we need behaviours such as Generic Servers, Generic Finite State Machines and others, when to use them, and how to integrate them into supervision trees.

PREREQUISITES

You should have basic knowledge of Elixir, and whilst not necessary, it would be useful if you have developed a Phoenix application.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This is an intermediate level class scheduled to get you up and running with OTP.

COURSE OUTLINE

Topics included:

Life before OTP
OTP architecture
Behaviours
Supervision
GenServer
GenStateMachine
Other behaviours (GenStage, GenFlow, Event Handlers, etc)
Optimizing for performance
ETS (a Redis in your beam)
Load regulation and back-pressure (fuse, safety valve)

Lambdapad, Static Websites with Elixir (or Erlang)

Lambdapad was an effort performed by Garreth Smith to provide to the BEAM community (and Erlang mainly) a way to create a static site generator like Jekyll or Octopus from Ruby. Last year I take the code and using the "power of meta-programming" I performed my own vision about it and created a way to perform websites in an easier way, indeed, I'm using it for my blog (+300 posts) and different websites successfully.

OBJECTIVES
Introduce Lambdapad to the community and reach people who want to be involved in the project or support it.

AUDIENCE
People who want to create/maintain a website like a blog, landing page or similar.

Panel discussion on Beamer's modern life ó La vida moderna de un Beamer

This session will host an all spanish-speaking panel to talk about the BEAM; how the platform is currently used and what the future holds for anyone invested in it. Note that this panel will be delivered 98% in spanish.

Esta sesión tendrá como invitados a destacados miembros de la comunidad hispanohablante para discutir sobre BEAM; cómo es que aprovechamos la plataforma al día de hoy y qué es lo que el futuro aguarda para todos los interesados en ella. Manejaremos español durante gran parte de la sesión para la comunidad.

Programming Languages on top of the BEAM

Talk about the implementation of languages on top of BEAM which have not the same semantics as Erlang so, it is not going to be a talk about languages like LFE or Elixir but also others like Lua or PHP which are implemented in an interpreted way. The talk is going to review the issues that can occur, solutions to them and also give some examples about how in the end they can be done.

PHP over Erlang: how and why?

Manuel started to develop this crazy idea back in 2013 when he was playing with PEG and Neotoma to parse another crazy idea to build a MySQL server simulator to access to Erlang and gather information (myproto). After the first try, Manuel realised that he can perform something, which with PHP could be impossible to do, like better resources control, real-time coverage or even use websockets. In 2016 Bragful project was created.
