Feature packed, backed by the BEAM, and simple to get working on a device. But what about when it doesn’t work? When your flawless code has made your device inert? What if it's unreachable by a human? Guess it’s a brick now… Or We leverage the awesome power of Nerves+BEAM to make ultra-resilient embedded devices! In this talk, we dive into some useful practices for ensuring your Nerves device stays up. OBJECTIVES Discuss some best-practices for using Nerves+Beam on embedded devices to make them more resilient and fault-tolerant. Practices that will help ensure your device is always up and reachable, even if some bad firmware gets applied, which will greatly reduce hardware troubleshooting burdens. This will be especially useful for those looking to use Nerves devices in production/industrial applications. TARGET AUDIENCE Hardware enthusiasts, hobbyists, or individuals looking to use Nerves in a more industrial application. • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

In his fireside, Garrett will be exploring the Erlang rationale, understanding how to drive innovation aimed at solving specific problems, and moving the results from a research institution to a commercial entity. As with previous fireside chats with Erlang-co inventors, expect lots of nuggets, anecdotes and stories explaining how, 30 years on, Erlang is still leading the way in the space of concurrency, distributed programming, resilience and scale. --- SPEAKER - Bjarne Däcker Former manager of the Computer Science Laboratory at Ericsson Bjarne Däcker worked 36 years at Ericsson, first as programmer and systems designer and the last 18 years as manager of the Computer Science Laboratory. http://www.cs-lab.org/ Bjarne Däcker holds a licentiate of technology from the Royal Institute of Technology and an honorary doctorate from Linköping university. He was chairman of the steering committee for the Swedish national program for Computer Science research for five years. Bjarne has also been Swedish representative on the committee for EU’s IT prize. He is a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of the Engineering Sciences.As a pensioner, Bjarne Däcker has taken up university studies and has a B.A. in Archaeology. SPEAKER - Mike Williams Erlang co-inventor After leaving school in Wales, Milke worked as a school teacher in Malawi. He wasn’t a very good teacher, so he returned to Cambridge where he completed an engineering degree. He moved to Stockholm (with his Swedish wife) where he got a job working for Ericsson, the telecommunications giant. He had many jobs at Ericsson, starting as a hardware developer making him one of the few people who to design and implemented a computer from basic chips! Having developed a computer, the next stage was to program it, so he slipped into software development, eventually co-founding the Ericsson Computer Science laboratory. His principle achievement as co-inventor of Erlang was the implementation of the first Erlang virtual machine and the error handling constructs in Erlang's concurrency model. From applied research, he slipped into management of both small and large business units which developed and maintained software, both in Erlang and other technologies. Building and managing good teams for software development is, perhaps, the most important aspect for any non trivial development. It is what he is going to speak about. SPEAKER - Robert Virding Co-Creator of Erlang Robert Virding is Principal Language Expert at Erlang Solutions Ltd. While at Ericsson AB, Robert was one of the original members of the Ericsson Computer Science Lab, and co-inventor of the Erlang language. He took part in the original system design and contributed much of the original libraries, as well as to the current compiler. While at the lab he also did a lot of work on the implementation of logic and functional languages and on garbage collection. He has also worked as an entrepreneur and was one of the co-founders of one of the first Erlang startups (Bluetail). Robert also worked a number of years at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) Modelling and Simulations Group. He co-authored the first book (Prentice-Hall) on Erlang, and is regularly invited to teach and present throughout the world. --- Code BEAM V America Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v-america-2021/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio

The panel features angel investor Jane Walerud, who not only got Erlang open sourced at Ericsson, but has invested and been CEO of multiple companies using the BEAM. Rob Mee is the founder of Pivotal labs, and is currently running an incubator which makes heavy use of Elixir. William King is the co-founder of Subspace, a company building the world’s (and space’s) fastest internet. Subspace has successfully raised over $100m over multiple rounds of funding. Together, we will discuss what really matters when raising funds. Was it the technology stack, the passion, the idea, the track record, or a mixture of all of them? What do VCs look for, and what do founders have to do to succeed? --- SPEAKER - Rob Mee Founder/CEO Rob entered the workforce as a dishwasher, a job he clung to for several years until the flashing LED lights of an IBM PC AT lured him into the world of programming. He clung to his next job for three decades: founding Pivotal in 1989, selling it to EMC in 2012, taking it public on the NYSE in 2018, and finally selling it again to VMware in 2019. Now in his third real job, he has started a new incubator called Geometer. Geometer relies on an evolved software development method, extraordinary engineering and product talent, and a killer technology (guess which one) to build businesses that innovate on highly concurrent, large scale services and platforms. SPEAKER - William King Co-founder & CTO When not collecting really hard puzzles and dying often in his favorite first person shooters William is a real-time communications expert and a core developer of the Freeswitch project, William led the development of Flowroute’s core tech, Portugal Telecom next generation network, and the Silent Circle network.

He who cannot remember history is doomed to repeat it—an apt aphorism summing up the last 30 years of software development if ever there was one. We will take a walk down memory lane and identify the mistakes languages and frameworks seem to make over and over again and why languages like Elixir might just help us get out of the vicious cycle. --- SPEAKER - Randall Thomas Randall Thomas (@daksis) is a classically trained musician that took one too many calculus classes and got sucked into geekery: computers, robots, video games, high energy physics - the usual suspects. Afflicted with rabid technology ADD, Randall has built companies in various industries with numerous startups -- everything from robotics to digital video to cloud computing. After escaping a high-security military prison and driving a heavily armed conversion van filled with ex spec-ops soldiers for hire around the Los Angeles underground, Randall founded Thunderbolt Labs - a software consultancy that teaches companies how to build better software by embedding with their teams and building it beside them.Randall is an internationally recognized speaker on practical data techniques and the insanely nonsensical business of startups.When not glued to a computer Randall is likely lost in a book or on a running trail wondering if he will get to the end of either. He has a fondness for good food and weakness for great whiskey and will happily discuss either at length. --- Code BEAM V America Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v-america-2021/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio
