Hi all,
I've finally posted the slides and links for my talk on Erlang last
Friday online. You can grab the info from here:
http://www.algorithm.com.au/mt/talks/erlang_and_concurrency.html
For those who missed the talk, it's about a programming language
named Erlang and also about concurrency. Here's a short abstract:
For those who haven't heard of it, Erlang is a programming language
based on the functional programming paradigm that's targeted at
solving one major problem: concurrency. It has a number of very
cool features that makes it extremely compelling for writing large
servers that are required to be high-performing, have ridiculous
availability (99.999% uptime or better), can scale well to deal
with huge load, and can be distributed (even geographically). In
addition, since it has an industrial focus, it has quite a
reasonable standard library that a lot of other more academic
languages lack (such as Ocaml and Haskell), including things such
as a full SSH implementation.
I'll also be covering issues about concurrency and why it's going
to be a massive problem for programmers in the next ten to twenty
years, and briefly cover some issues about the Jabber and XMPP
instant messaging protocols and how you can use Jabber chat clients
and servers as an application platform.
Cheers, and please feel free to email back the coders list or email
me privately if you have any questions at all! (I'm not on the main
SLUG mailing list at the moment.)
