Concurrent Programming in Erlang (University of Kent) Free Online Course #5

Open nelsonic opened 4 years ago

nelsonic commented 4 years ago

Erlang is not required for writing Elixir, but it can be useful to know when you need to understand more advanced features especially the inner workings of OTP. This course is free: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/concurrent-programming-erlang image You only pay the €74 if you want a certificate for your LinkedIn e.g: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-brown-11136938/ image

Throughout the course, you’ll learn with Simon Thompson – co-author of one of the standard introductions to Erlang, O’Reilly Media’s Erlang Programming.

And why is it important to learn Elixir and Erlang ? I have read a bit on the net but am not clear on the reasons ... With such a vast world of languages, frameworks and libraries, why these 2 ?

Thanks, Jonas

@tilakapash if you are happy with your current programming language(s), there is no reason to learn Elixir or Erlang other than curiosity and a desire to expand horizons. see: dwyl/learn-elixir#102

Thanks @nelsonic , I read issue dwyl/learn-elixir#102 and am convinced (intellectually and due to my trust in you ... as my experience as a programmer is still small). I will start learning it in my next opening of time allotted to learning. Cheers

@tilakapash hopefully our tutorials will be helpful to you (and others) for learning Elixir/Phoenix:

At the very least you will have a new programming language/framework in your tool box. Which is always a good thing as it expands your mental models. If you are new to Functional Programming, Elixir is a great place to start.
