Concurrent Programming in ERLANG
This comprehensive note is an introduction to concurrent programming using the ERLANG language, well suited for developing robust applications. It starts with a tutorial on ERLANG basics, introducing the reader to sequential programming concepts and use of lists and tuples. Concurrent and distributed programming is at the very core, detailing strategies for managing multiple processes effectively. It is underlined that good error handling should be achieved and best programming practice performed to create a more robust application, and therefore developers can gracefully handle their problems. This note also puts emphasis on functions and standard libraries that are built in and enhanced the functionality of ERLANG. This resource is invaluable for any programmer who needs to take advantage of the best features of ERLANG in concurrent programming through the presentation of different applications and discussion on common errors in ERLANG.
