Erlang Programming | Functional Programming | Concurrency

Learn Erlang, a general-purpose, concurrency-oriented functional programming language suitable for building fault-tolerant, distributed, and real-time systems.

Introduction

Erlang Programming book by Wikibooks covering Erlang language and functional programming concepts.

Highlights

• Erlang is a general purpose, concurrency-oriented functional programming language suited for fault-tolerant, distributed, soft real-time systems
• Features strong dynamic typing, lightweight concurrency, eager evaluation and prolog like pattern matching
• Developed in the 1980s at the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory to address the need for telecommunications programming
• Suitable as a general-purpose programming language and well-suited to programming projects such as network servers, control systems and web development

Recommendation

This course is recommended for developers interested in learning a functional programming language with strong concurrency and distribution capabilities, especially those working in the telecommunications or network programming domains.
