Elm by Example - Make beautiful map displays with Elm and Leaflet

Maps and GIS are not scary. You can build a responsive user interface
that has custom map displays remarkably easily.
Most of us carry a geolocation device on us at all times. This opens up
many applications for presenting information on a map.
The Elm environment (a functional programming language that transpiles to Javascript) leads to beautifully small and bug-free sites that also happen to be responsive and look great (particularly when combined with the Material Design toolkit).
Many people worry about being locked into the Elm language and unable to use other
javascript libraries.
This presentation will show how my team works almost exclusively in Elm, while still
having access to cutting-edge javascript toolkits such as Leaflet.js
Mapping gets everywhere, I find myself using geo-representation for applications
ranging from building management to vehicle traffic enforcement.
Come on in, the functions are fine.
This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.
linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
