Erlang solves one of the most pressing problems facing developers today: how to write reliable, concurrent, high-performance systems. It's used worldwide by companies who need to produce reliable, efficient, and scalable applications. Invest in learning Erlang now.Moore's Law is the observation that the amount you can do on a single chip doubles every two years. But Moore's Law is taking a detour. Rather than producing faster and faster processors, companies such as Intel and AMD are producing multi-core devices: single chips containing two, four, or more processors. If your programs aren't concurrent, they'll only run on a single processor at a time. Your users will think that your code is slow.
Erlang is a programming language designed for building highly parallel, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. It has been used commercially for many years to build massive fault-tolerated systems that run for years with minimal failures.
Erlang programs run seamlessly on multi-core computers: this means your Erlang program should run a lot faster on a 4 core processor than on a single core processor, all without you having to change a line of code.
Erlang combines ideas from the world of functional programming with techniques for building fault-tolerant systems to make a powerful language for building the massively parallel, networked applications of the future.
This book presents Erlang and functional programming in the familiar Pragmatic style. And it's written by Joe Armstrong, one of the creators of Erlang.
It includes example code you'll be able to build upon. In addition, the book contains the full source code for two interesting applications:
A SHOUTcast server which you can use to stream music to every computer in your house, and
a full-text indexing and search engine that can index gigabytes of data.
Learn how to write programs that run on dozens or even hundreds of local and remote processors. See how to write robust applications that run even in the

face of network and hardware failure, using the Erlang programming language.

Autoren-Porträt von Joe Armstrong
In his search to find better ways to implement fault-tolerant applications, Joe Armstrong designed and implemented the first veresion of ERlang in 1986. He wrote the first Erlang book and held the first Erlang course-he has worked Erlang from the very beginning. He has taught Erlang to hundreds of programmers and held countless lectures and keynotes describing the technology.Joe has a PhD in computer science from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden and is an expert in the construction of fault tolerant systems. Joe was the chief software architect of the project which produced the Erlang OTP system. He has worked as an entrepreneur in one of the first Erlang startups (Bluetail) and has worked for 30 years in industry and research. Joe currently works for Ericsson AB where Erlang is used to build highly-fault tolerant switching systems.

Rezension zu „Programming Erlang “
"'Programming Erlang' ist eines dieser Bücher, die eine Programmiersprache in einer erfrischend zugänglichen und unterhaltsamen Weise beschreiben." -- Markus Völter in dotnetpro 3/2009 "... Sein Buch gibt eine Einführung ohne jeden Schnörkel. [...] Richtig interessant wird es, wenn er verteilte Anwendungen mit maximaler Verfügbarkeit realisiert. [...] Erlang ist dort besonders stark, wo Parallelität udn Robustheit gefragt ist - beispielsweise im Telekommunikationsbereich, wo hochkomplexe Switches verwaltet werden müssen. Stehen also die Anforderungen "hoher Durchsatz" und "hohe Verfügbarkeit" im Raum, so ist Erlang ganz bestimmt einen Blick wert. ..." -- c't, Februar 2008
