Product Description
Book Description
A Concurrent Approach to Software Development
Product Description
This book is an in-depth introduction to Erlang, a programming language ideal for any situation where concurrency, fault tolerance, and fast response is essential. Erlang is gaining widespread adoption with the advent of multi-core processors and their new scalable approach to concurrency. With this guide you'll learn how to write complex concurrent programs in Erlang, regardless of your programming background or experience.
Written by leaders of the international Erlang community -- and based on their training material -- Erlang Programming focuses on the language's syntax and semantics, and explains pattern matching, proper lists, recursion, debugging, networking, and concurrency.
This book helps you:
- Understand the strengths of Erlang and why its designers included specific features
- Learn the concepts behind concurrency and Erlang's way of handling it
- Write efficient Erlang programs while keeping code neat and readable
- Discover how Erlang fills the requirements for distributed systems
- Add simple graphical user interfaces with little effort
- Learn Erlang's tracing mechanisms for debugging concurrent and distributed systems
- Use the built-in Mnesia database and other table storage features
Erlang Programming provides exercises at the end of each chapter and simple examples throughout the book.

Format:Paperback
This book is concise and to the point. It teaches you how to write Erlang programs using the concepts that has been used in the real world. Erlang is different. It can be a bit of a mind bender to get the ides behind the concepts used in the Erlang/OTP but this book presents them in an easy to digest form. I would recommend this book to anyone tracking down the Erlang path.

More than in one occasion on articles I spotted references to this new language and I become curious so I arrived to this book.
The book is very well written, the exposition is very clear even to the real beginner.
It is very easy to follow, it is never boring and go straight to the point.
The examples are very well developed and the excersises as well.
It is a must have for anyone that wants to master Erlang or simply want to learn if to scratch.

Excellent complementary book to Armstrong
This books delivery has a slightly academic feel, with good definitions of the terms used and concepts explained quite thoroughly but sometimes a bit tedious in that academic kind... Read more
