Description
Modern Erlang for Beginners provides a thorough introduction to the Erlang programming language from the very basics to building your first Erlang/OTP application.

This course takes a very structured approach of teaching Erlang. The screencasts show you how to get started, in a gradual journey from understanding basic concepts such as pattern matching, to writing your first OTP application. You will learn how to use behaviours to build supervised and distributed systems, through clear examples and detailed explanations.

Why Erlang? The Erlang runtime system is known for its designs that are well suited for systems with the following characteristics:

Distributed

Fault-tolerant

Highly available (non-stop applications)

Support Hot Code swapping (code can be changed without stopping a system)

Developers that want to get started with Erlang
Elixir developers that want to understand Erlang better
