A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) Functional Programming in Erlang will be
available from 4 May 2020 on the FutureLearn platform.
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-erlang
The course is free and designed for anyone with prior programming experience,
whether self-taught or professional. This is followed in late June by a second
MOOC on Concurrent Programming in Erlang.
We combine the theory of functional programming and the practice of how that
works in Erlang. The course will also help you if you are interested in Elixir,
based on the same virtual machine as Erlang, and will help you get going with
any functional language.
You’ll learn with Simon Thompson – co-author of one of the standard
introductions to Erlang, O’Reilly Media’s Erlang Programming. Simon is joined
by Francesco Cesarini, of Erlang Solutions, and Joe Armstrong, one of the
inventors of Erlang.
This University of Kent designed course will teach theory and practice, through
practical exercises and suggested projects and includes:
• Getting started programming in Erlang
• Programs and functions in Erlang
• Data structures using lists
• Tools for Erlang programming
• Functions as data, and higher-order functions
• Case studies
The MOOC is supported by the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation and Erlang Solutions
Ltd, as well as the University of Kent.
We look forward to you joining!
