This book is for developers who want to start with the Elm platform. It is expected that the reader has some web applications development experience and knows a bit about JavaScript. This is not a beginner's programming text.

There is a free course accompanying this book. It is the first part of a four part course about Elm that leads from a simple start with the platform to more real-time examples culminating in a (spiritual) re-write of Borland's Sidekick. If you are not familiar with this program read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Sidekick

A word about Elm versions: at the moment we are using - as in the examples of the book - version 0.18. Version 0.19 is brewing since a 2016 and is expected to arrive \"soon\". In any case, the book will be updated to the latest version as soon as 0.19 is released.

The prize of the book will be from free to USD 4.99. Most probably it will be published in February 2018.
