The Elm language offers safer applications and fewer errors that come with functional programming, while being type-safe and easy to use. Run-time errors are nearly impossible, and it compiles to JavaScript for easy web deployment. Take advantage of this new language in your web site development.

Use a simple static application to get started with the syntax, Elm modules, and the virtual DOM, and create a full web UI using functions. Manage state with the Elm Architecture’s update process. Use JSON and HTTP requests for communication in larger applications. Communicate in real-time with WebSockets. Integrate your Elm applications with JavaScript so you can update legacy applications or take advantage of JavaScript resources. Write code more effectively using Test-Driven Development with Elm’s testing framework. Deploy quickly and easily with Elm’s built-in tooling.

Make your web UIs faster, safer, and easier to develop with Elm.

“Programming Elm is wonderfully accessible for folks coming to Elm from JavaScript. Jeremy Fairbank takes the time to introduce each concept thoroughly and thoughtfully, so the learning path is quite smooth.”

–Brian Hicks, Organizer, elm-conf
