• Using Functional CSS to scale design systems

    • Creating a Language of design With TachyonsCSS
    • Stop writing CSS and still look good (with Tachyons!)
• Elm
  • JSON decoders
    • Just get Elm installed with create-elm-app
    • Basic Syntax of Elm
    • Why JSON decoders?
      • Basically all external services talk in JSON
      • Elm's types are close to JSON but are not the same
      • There's no gerentee that the external thing will return things in the right form. To be safe we have to be defensive
    • What is a JSON decoder
      • It's a list of instructions on how to turn Json into elm types
      • It's a pure data structure not a function, although it can contain functions for the more difficult parts
      • It contains two values:
        • Json to be queried and prodded at
        • A single value of the decoders result so far which can be in one of 3 states:
          • Nothing (you haven't began decoding)
          • A decoded value
          • An Error
• A tour of Alt-JS languages
• How language design (technology in general) affects the products you create
