Erlang Solutions in the USA
Erlang Solutions delivered the first training course for the American market in 2001 and has since expanded its customer base providing services to private individuals and blue chip companies alike. We often speak at US/Canadian conferences and show up at user group meetings.
We offer scheduled courses at all levels in the Bay Area, Chicago, New York and Boston. If the trainer who might best suit your needs is not based in America, it is not a problem. For bespoke training on client premises on the American continent, travel time and travel costs are on us if we receive the formal order four weeks in advance! Other services include staffing of your Erlang projects, consulting services, in-house systems development and 24/7 support. Thanks to our broad experience and wide range of consultants in Erlang/OTP, we are able to provide services that fully meet your expectations.
We are in the process of setting an office in the Bay Area, but until that is formalised, do not hesitate to contact us! At any one time, a large portion of our staff is either in the US or working remotely with US based projects.
Our services include:

Upcoming Events in the USA
Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2010 (USA)
Erlang Architects, Programmers, Project Managers, Software and Platform Innovators and existing Erlang users as well as Erlang newbies and anyone interested in Erlang are all invited to the 2nd Erlang Factory conference to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Erlang Factory conference will last two days from 25 to 26 March 2010. Each day there will be 3 tracks, each on different theme. Delegates can choose which talks they want to attend from all available tracks.
In addition to the conference, there will be the Erlang University in the three days preceeding the Erlang Factory conference. This provides training in the Erlang language and also in the OTP platform for new and experienced users respectively. By following three days of training in Erlang with two days of conference talks and networking, you will benefit far more than by only having training by itself.

Trends in Functional Programming 2010 (Oklahoma, USA)
On May 17-19, 2010 the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming will begin its second decade at the University of Oklahoma.
The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research and applications. This year the symposium features an invited talk by J Strother Moore. He will describe the ACL2 theorem prover, a system grounded in functional programming that has seen wide application in high-assurance, industrial applications such as integrated circuit design and security- and safety-critical software.
Erlang Training and Consulting Ltd. sponsors this year's Trends in Functional Programming and Francesco Cesarini (founder and CSO of Erlang Training and Consulting Ltd.) sits on the programme committee.
ICFP 2010 (Baltimore, USA)
The 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, from 27 to 29 September 2010.
ICFP 2010 provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire spectrum of work, from practice to theory, including its peripheries.
Erlang Solutions will be present at the ICFP 2010 as well as at the Erlang workshop and CUFP 2010 which will take place just after the conference. Meet us there!

9th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop (Baltimore, USA)
9th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, probably on *30th September 2010. It will be co-located with ICFP 2010.
The workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and industrial programming communities of Erlang. It will enable participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools tailored to Erlang, novel applications, draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang and functional programming.
If you are curious about how the 8th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop looked like, the presentation slides and more information can be found here.
Erlang Solutions will be present at the ACM-SIGPLAN, as well as at CUFP 2010 and ICFP2010. Meet us there!

* The dates will be confirmed soon.
Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (Baltimore, USA)
Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (CUFP) will take place in Baltimore, Maryland *probably on 1st October 2010. The event will be co-located with ICFP 2010.
The goal of CUFP is to build a community for users of functional programming languages and technology, be they using functional languages in their professional lives, in an open source project (other than implementation of functional languages), as a hobby, or any combination thereof.

Past Events
OOPSLA 2009: Practical Erlang Programming and an OTP Tutorial (Orlando, USA)
Meet us at OOPSLA 2009, where Francesco Cesarini will give two tutorials: Practical Erlang Programming and an OTP Tutorial. The tutorials are highly recommended for experienced programmers who want an overview of Erlang and what it can do.
OOPSLA is an annual conference covering topics on object-oriented programming systems, languages and applications. Like other conferences, OOPSLA offers various tracks and many simultaneous sessions, and thus has different meaning to different people - from recognized academics to undergraduate students, from industrial researchers to developers and managers, from the creators of technology to its users.
OOPSLA 2009 will take place from October 25 to 29,2009 in Orlando, Florida.
OSCON: Erlang for Five Nines: A non technical introduction to Erlang (San Jose, USA)
This talk will introduce the concurrent functional programming language Erlang to a non technical audience. It will describe how to do more with less, giving examples on the syntax and constructs which allow Erlang programs to generally be 4 – 10 times shorter than their counterparts in Java, C and C++ while achieving 99,999% availability. Erlang, while originally invented to handle the next generation of Telecom switches, has been used successful in a much wider range of sectors including banking, e-commerce, instant messaging and food traceability. We will provide examples not only of the Ericsson success stories, but also give examples of these other domains, describing why Erlang is a perfect fit in these market segments. We will conclude by presenting the ever growing Erlang community. This includes open source projects which are making a difference, the websites, blogs, conferences and user groups which are today growing exponentially. If you have heard about Erlang and want to hear about it from the Horse’s mouth, this is the talk for you. For more info, visit the OSCON Site...
OSCON: Practical Erlang Tutorial (San Jose, USA)
Erlang Training and Consulting will be giving a tutorial on Practical Erlang Programming at O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention in San Jose, California. The tutorial, which will cover sequential and concurrent Erlang programming, has been scheduled for the 21st of Jul 2009. We look forward to seeing you there! For more information on OSCON and the contents of the tutorial, visit the OSCON Site...
Erlang Factory Conference and University, (SF Bay Area, USA)
The Erlang Factory comes to the West Coast! Now renamed and moved to the end of April, this promises to be the largest gathering of Erlang expertise since last year's eXchange in London. Running together with the Factory is the Erlang University - 3-day courses so you can combine a training course, talks and tutorials in the same week. Come and meet Erlang experts who have been using the language long before it was released as open source, network with committees of the open source applications, debate and discuss the latest features and libraries. Some of the tracks we are planning include Tools and Gadgets, Cool Applications, Relax with Couch DB, Erlang and Test Driven Development.
Erlang Concurrency, What’s the Fuss? QCon Talk (San Francisco, USA)
Erlang’s concurrency model has been used in commercial systems for well over 15 years, but what differentiates it from other technologies? What are the constructs, what makes them so powerful and scalable, and when using them, what change in mindset is required from the developers? What makes Erlang an excellent choice when developing with SMP in mind? More information this talk and its contents are available in the QCon San Francisco site.
