Erlang/OTP Volume I

Definitions of Erlang as language and platform, features, history, what was made with Erlang and the concurrency.

Syntaxis of the language, data types (atoms, integers and floats, variables, lists, tuples, records y maps), data conversion and printing to the screen.

Date and times, definition of monotonic time, how works the time and time measurement in Erlang and important changes in OTP 18.

Arithmetic and logic expressions, operators precedence, pattern matching, control flow structures (case and if), comprehension lists and functional blocks.

Code organization, functions scope, polymorphism and pattern matching, guards, closures, functional programming, recursivity and built-in functions.

Process anatomy, advantages and disadvantages of the Erlang process system, spawn, registering processes with names and process communication, link processes, monitoring processes, reloading code, nodes and remote process calling.

How to use ETS and DETS, create, remove and look up for information. Handling files individually (create, read, write and remove) and inside of a directory (active working directory, create directory, list and remove directories).

Communication network concepts, creation of clients and servers for TCP and UDP protocols and concurrent connections using TCP.

At last we'll give a tour to the Erlang ecosystem. We will learn to develop a project using rebar3 as main tool to create the project and create releases and hot-upgrades for our code.
