Episode 10: Teaching and Evangelizing Elixir and FP
We talk with Chris Miller and Andre Bryan, hosts of the YouTube channel Coding Cave, about their experiences teaching and evangelizing functional programming. We learn how Chris got interested in Elixir and inspired Andre to come along for the adventure, and the why and how of teaching FP. With some many educators on our panel, this episode was definitely a lively one!
