Erlang Master Class 3- Video 2 - Whats in a Message?

These Master Classes will show you how Erlang can be used in practice to solve larger problems. The examples provide capstones for different aspects of Erlang: functional programming concurrent programming and larger-scale programming with OTP. There is a lot more to Erlang than the language there is a wide ecosystem of tools for example but the key productivity tool is OTP the Open Telecom Platform which provides generic behaviours such as a generic server that can be used again and again with no changes to the generic part. This is explored in depth in this master class and it is shown how together with supervision OTP provides the behaviours from which complex systems can be built quickly and reliably. These systems are packaged as applications and releases and an overview of these completes the final master class. Francesco Cesarini is founder and Technical Director of Erlang Solutions Ltd the company focused on building scalable reliable systems based on ErlangOTP. ESL is based in the UK and has branches in Sweden Poland Hungary USA and Argentina. Francesco is also author with Simon Thompson of Erlang Programming and the forthcoming Designing for Scalability with ErlangOTP with Steve Vinoski.,
