Description
Building web applications with Erlang is a hands-on guide to understanding the power of this programming language for building business-critical services. By completing several examples, you'll learn how to work with REST, dynamic content, web sockets, and concurrency.
Erlang was designed for fault-tolerant systems, but building applications with it requires a range of skills. This book will provide you with the information needed to build a basic web service and get it running using the Yaws web server.
Through several examples, you'll learn how to serve static and dynamic content, process HTTP requests, store data, and return useful data. You'll also discover how to push data to clients using web sockets and stream data from the server to a client.
