Czaplicki, Evan. "Elm." Elm. N.p., 2011 -15. Web. 08 June 2015.

This summer will incorporate the learning of a new language called Elm. Elm is a language based on the idea of Functional Reactive Programming, in which is believed to be made easy to create interactive applications than most languages. This code can compile to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Elm is supposed to be great for 2D and 3D games, diagrams, widgets, and websites.


One will learn the language of Elm and will create different HTML, JavaScript assignments. By analyzing the different elements of the Elm language, one will share justified information to the experience of learning this new language. Hoping to fully understand the Elm language thoroughly, and later being able to incorporate the different project into this website.
