Erlang - the language and its applications
wednesday 13:10 - 14:00
Erlang was designed specifically for programming fault-tolerant distributed soft real-time applications.
Erlang programs consists of large collections of thread-safe lightweight processes which spread over the available processors and cores.
This style of programming leads to systems which are robust, scalable and easy to understand. The core of the language is a small dynamically typed functional programming language.
Erlang introduction
tuesday - all day
A complete Erlang course designed for beginners.
I have held this many times to hundreds of programmers.
This should be enough to get you over the initial "getting started" barrier. The emphasis is on writing your first program.
I aim to get everybody started and have written their first Erlang program by the end of the day.
This is very much a live-coding hands-on experience.
