Erlang Programming

This book offers you an in-depth explanation of Erlang, a programming language ideal for any situation where concurrency, fault-tolerance, and fast response is essential. Erlang has been around for more than fifteen years, but with the advent of multi-core processors, it's now on the brink of widespread adoption as more developers attempt to exploit this new, scalable approach to concurrency. With Erlang Programming, you'll learn how to write complex concurrent programs in this language, regardless of your programming background or experience. Written by leaders in 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.
