Speaker
Host: Thomas Arts

Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on Erlang and model checking has gone on for almost as long.

Case Studies, host: Ulf Wiger

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their association with other technologies rather than Erlang.

Give me a break, host: Jan Lehnardt

Perhaps your use of Erlang has made you curious about other functional programming languages? Perhaps you are faced with having to understand and interface with other languages in your work? Or perhaps you just want to learn something new? This track lets you widen your horizons and delve into things non-Erlang.

Erlang and the Web, host: Jan Henry Nystrom

As web services become ever more sophisticated and stateful, we see a growing demand for back-end technologies enabling uninterrupted service, quick response time and complex logic. In response to this, a number of Erlang-based web frameworks and exciting Erlang-based web applications have seen the light. In this track, we take a closer look at some of them.

Goodbye Stockholm, Hello Berlin and Tel Aviv

The 19th Erlang User Conference just concluded, and we are uploading slides and videos as fast as we can. Most slides are already up, and we hope to have all videos on the website during the next two weeks. A video of the first keynote is already live, take a look. If you want to get a feel of the atmosphere at EUC, you can also find a photo album here.

If you didn't get a chance to come to EUC or you did and now you want more Erlang in your life, fear not! The Erlang Factories Lite will be back in October. By popular demand we're coming to Berlin on the 16th of October. Steve Vinoski already confirmed he will be one of our speakers, so hurry up and submit your talk.  

The first Erlang Factory in Israel will take place at the Google Campus in Tel Aviv on 23 October. Talks will be delivered both in English and in Hebrew. Talk submissions is now open here.
