Distributed Application

Required Software

• Start by installing Elixir.
• Make sure you have Git.
• Get an IDE for Elixir development. Suggestions:
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Spacemacs
  • Vim

Correcting Errors

If you encounter what you believe is an error in the course material, you can suggest changes to be made through the GitHub web interface:

• Browse to the file containing the error.
• Click the edit button (sporting a pencil icon).
• Make the necessary modifications.

Your suggestions will not be committed directly; instead, they reach us in the form of a pull request, pending for review. Only after we explicitly accept to incorporate your changes will the course material be updated.

Accepted corrections in material written by fvogels might cause an increase in cake points.
