Concurrency and Reliability in Erlang
by Dennis Byrne
Dennis will focus on why Erlang is so fundamentally different from other programming languages. Plain vanilla functional programming principles will be glossed over in order to focus more on concurrency, as well as another equally important and overlooked core feature ... reliability. We'll cover the basics of what an Erlang process is, runtime code swapping, and a brief intro to a few Erlang OTP behaviours.
Attendees should walk away from this presentation with a few new ideas in their heads and enough information to be dangerous.
When: Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 6:00-8:00
Where: Obtiva, 566 W. Adams St., Suite 400, Chicago, IL
Eating: Giordano's Pizza
