Erlang and Test-Driven Development


Speaker
Host: Thomas Arts
Date: 25-06-2009

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. This track covers test-driven development ranging from hands-on practical industrial experience to the latest news from the research front.

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.

Only a few days left!

The Erlang Factory in SF Bay Area will begin on monday 22nd March with the Erlang University courses and followed by the two-day Conference which starts on Thursday 25th.
