These three Master Classes in Erlang will show you how Erlang can be used in practice to solve larger problems. We have chosen to give examples that provide 'capstones' for different aspects of Erlang: functional programming, concurrent programming and larger-scale programming with OTP.

The master classes are presented by Joe Armstrong, Ericsson AB and KTH, Stockholm, and one of the inventors of Erlang; Francesco Cesarini, CTO and founder of Erlang Solutions Ltd; and Simon Thompson, functional programming teacher and researcher at the University of Kent. Each Master Class ends with a discussion between the three presenters on some of the issues raised by the Master Class.
