Introduction |
This is a tutorial for the Elm programming language. It is a language for creating web pages and web applications using Functional Reactive Programming techniques.
This tutorial does not cover installing and configuring an Elm programming environment. The Elm web page provides installation instructions.
Elm is a relatively new programming language. It is evolving quickly. Breaking changes are not something that is avoided at all cost. With new Elm releases certain parts of this tutorial may become obsolete. I am planning to update the tutorial as new Elm versions appear, however you may expect a time lag between new Elm versions and new versions of this tutorial. This version of the tutorial targets Elm 0.14.1.
I am not treating this tutorial as a finished work. You may expect its content to evolve and to be updated. Partly because of the Elm evolution that I mentioned above. And partly because I may add new examples, modify the existing ones, or do other changes that I find appropriate. Feel free to let me know of any errors, issues, problems, inconsistencies, or any other remarks that you may have. The source of the tutorial is located on github and you can open an issue there.
The examples are available separately from github.
The first chapter will show you how to make simple Elm programs.
