We learn about nested structure functions.

We learn about some of the changes in Elixir 1.8 and how it differs from 1.7.

I share a realization I had about how Elixir pipelines can be used.

In Part 1 of the Kernel module, we learn about various categories of Kernel functions.

In Part 2 of our coverage of the Map module, we take an in-depth look at the rest of the Map functions.
