Erlang Programming

Erlang Programming: A Concurrent Approach to Software Development by Cesarini and Thompson is an in-depth introduction to Erlang, a programming language ideal for situations requiring concurrency, fault tolerance, and fast response. As multi-core processors become increasingly common, Erlang's adoption is growing due to its ability to handle concurrency efficiently. This guide helps you learn how to write complex concurrent programs in Erlang, regardless of your background or experience. You'll discover the strengths of Erlang, understand concurrency concepts, and learn how to write efficient programs while keeping code neat and readable. The book covers topics such as pattern matching, recursion, debugging, networking, and concurrency, providing a solid foundation for distributed systems. With Erlang Programming, you can add simple graphical user interfaces with ease, use the built-in Mnesia database, and explore Erlang's tracing mechanisms for debugging concurrent and distributed systems. Exercises at the end of each chapter and simple examples throughout the book help reinforce your understanding of the material.
