September 25, 2008 by Hughes (Erlang) Let’s say you want to give a try to Erlang (Discover our post about Why Erlang?) for your next web development project and you want to be up and running as quickly as possible… you just landed smoothly in the right place. This post is the starting point of a series of posts in which I’m going to provide you with all the commands you’ll need to set up an Ubuntu 8.04 server loaded with Erlang, Mochiweb proxied by Nginx. In the same series, I’ll also cover: * The basic configuration of Postfix (mail) * The use of Imagemagick to create dynamically a captcha for your application * The configuration of Bind9 in order to play with the url CNAME The goal here is not to set up an hardened production server with all the optimizations
The purpose is to create the one-stop place where to find Erlang information. At trapexit you will find: Software that is not in the standard OTP distribution, Documentation and HOWTOs, The Erlang discussion forum, Links to other Erlang sites
Chapters: History, sequential programming, concurrent programming, error handling, advanced topics
They say it takes four days to complete the course. If you know a little Prolog and a little LISP it takes you rather a few hours.
