article

DESCRIPTION

A really good article about how more experienced developers sometimes (unwittingly) shutdown and turn away less experienced developers was published last week at opensource.com. It's worth a read; food for thought.

article

DESCRIPTION

This is a transcript of a talk given at ElixirDaze and CodeBEAMSF conferences in March of 2018.

This post covers broad and diverse approaches to handling the unexpected, but will keep a specific focus on how building the proper supervision structures lets us encode predefined failure semantics into our programs so that we know how most errors will be handled, without even knowing what they are ahead of time.

OTP

DESCRIPTION

As you may remember, we found out that the OTP team was starting a Blog. It turns out, they are ready to share the news with everyone with an article on IO Polling on OTP 21! This is very exciting; the more insight we get on the inner workings of BEAM and the more we know what the team is working on, the better.

Early bird ends Sat 21/04 Code BEAMSTO - previously the Erlang User Conference.
The Erlang User Conference (EUC) has been rebranded as Code BEAMSTO. It is still a two-day, multi-track event on Erlang programming language with elements of Elixir and other BEAM languages. We focus on real-world applications of Erlang, concurrency, distributed computing and scalability. We strive to bring together people passionate about the Erlang Ecosystem and high-performance, massively scalable distributed systems.

Join us between 31 May - 1 June, plus a free day of tutorials. There are also many in-depth training options available, find out more on the website.
