Writing a well-tested & deterministic Elixir book

In this talk I will cover how I am using Elixir to build a tool to help me write a well-tested and deterministic Elixir book. These tips and tricks can be used for any technical writing in Elixir including blog posts. I will talk about how I use EEx and Metaprogramming to ensure all the code-snippets and command-line outputs in the book behave the way they should.

OBJECTIVE

Through this talk I want to share my experiences writing an Elixir book and encourage people to approach technical writing the same way they approach Software Development, by testing their code and making it as deterministic as they can.

AUDIENCE

People interested in/passionate about:

• Technical writing using Elixir

• Learning some testing tricks

• Using EEx to write Elixir books/blog posts

• Leveraging Metaprogramming to automate CLI outputs
