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.
