Erlang Factory - Advanced Track: Applying Design Patterns with Erlang

Advanced Track: Applying Design Patterns with Erlang

an image At this practical, 3-day Erlang eXchange University Workshop you will learn the prevailing Erlang Design Patterns called OTP Behaviours. We will cover Erlang Design Patterns such as Generic Behaviours, Finite State Machines and Event Handlers. You will also learn how to develop systems using the Supervisor and Application Behaviours Patterns, so you can construct maintainable and fault tolerant software. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to extend it all, by devising your very own Behaviours.

When: June 23rd - 25th
Where: Erlang eXchange University

You will learn how to:

Use existing Design Patterns supported by Erlang and OTP
Apply Generic Behaviours, Finite State Machines and Event handler Patterns
Use the Supervisor and Applicaton Behaviours Patterns
Write your own Design Patterns
Structure large Erlang based systems
Design fault-tolerant systems

Audience
This Erlang Whizz class is suitable for experienced Erlang Software Developers and Designers who need to understand Behaviours.

Prerequisites
Existing experience using Sequential and Concurrent Programming with Erlang on projects.

Jan Nystrom

Jan Henry Nyström has been using Erlang for well over a decade. Having come in contact with it at Uppsala University in the late nineties, he started his PhD developing a tool that could automatically extract and formally analyze the supervision structure of an Erlang/OTP application from the source code.In 2002, he became a research associate at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. There, he was able to re-implement existing distributed Motorola applications written in C++ to Erlang. His research resulted in the publication of numerous papers and journal entries. In 2006, he joined Erlang Training and Consulting as a Research and Training manager, where he continues to be involved as an Erlang/OTP consultant and developer in many high profile projects.
