Programming Erlang, 2nd Edition

Part 5Building Applications

In this part, we’ll look at some programming idioms that are commonly used when writing Erlang programs. We’ll also see how to integrate third-party code into our applications. This way, we can build upon the work of others to obtain results far more quickly than if we had done all the work ourselves. We’ll learn how to parallelize programs on a multicore, and finally we’ll solve Sherlock’s last case.
