Erlang and OTP in Action

HIGHLIGHT Erlang and OTP in Action offers an introduction to concurrent programming and shows how to develop distributed systems. DESCRIPTION Erlang, together with the Open Telecom Platform (OTP), is a functional programming model designed to facilitate concurrency--programming that exploits the capabilities and speed of multi-processor hardware. Erlang applications run fast, recover quickly from errors, integrate with other systems, and can be updated dynamically at run-time. Erlang and OTP in Action walks readers through the practical steps of building systems in Erlang and integrating them with real-world C/C++, Java, and .NET applications. Hands-on examples progress from simple to complex real-world distributed applications and system design. Going beyond the nuts and bolts of Erlang, the book offers a comprehensive view of how concurrency relates to SOA and web technologies. KEY POINTS * Strong early demand through MEAP * Numerous hands-on, real-world examples * Concise and developer-centric "In Action" style * Examples include C++, Java and .NET integration
