Computer scientist retired
Joe Armstrong is a retired computer scientist. He got his grey hairs inventing Erlang, starting a few companies, writing a few books, doing some research and teaching people to program.
His hobbies are playing the piano, chopping wood and grumbling.
This is a 4 hour course in which I'll teach you the basics of Erlang. The goal of this course is to get you started and get you enthusiastic.
Writing that first program, is a crucial step in learning any language, so I'll make sure you can do this before you go home.
I have taught Erlang to hundreds of programmers, some of whom went on to found what became multi-million dollar companies.
Erlang powers WhatApp and sets up calls for billions of transactions in the world's data networks.
I'll briefly talk about Elixir -- and show the relationship between Erlang and Elixir.
-Laptop with Erlang installed.
-Test you can start Erlang.
-Try to write a simple program in Erlang.
The more you do before the course the more you will learn.
