Erlang's approach to concurrency make it a natural solution for application deployment on the web. Hunter will talk briefly about the current landscape for Erlang web applications and the tools available. He will also present the framework used at Smarkets, based on MochiWeb, ewgi, and sgte.
Biography: Hunter Morris is CTO and co-founder of Smarkets, a London-based betting exchange startup with a primarily Erlang codebase. Previously, he worked in London and Chicago for Wolverine Trading, a global derivatives market making firm. His main focus on software has been high-volume transactional systems and automated trading technology. He holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. ]]> Erlang Training and ConsultingEvents http://www.erlang-consulting.com/erlang/events.html#58 Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT .

Abstract:In this talk we will describe and demonstrate Lisp Flavored Erlang (LFE). LFE allows you to write Erlang code in a lisp syntax and combines the versatility and extensibility of lisp with the COP power of Erlang. LFE is completely integrated with Erlang/OTP and code written in LFE can freely be used together with modules written in vanilla Erlang and applications in Erlang/OTP. LFE is also much easier to use than vanilla Erlang when generating code. We will describe the system, its tools and its implementation, and also demonstrate some of its features and using its programming environment.
Biography:Robert Virding is one of the original developers of Erlang at the Ericsson Computer Science Lab. While there he also did work on garbage collection and the implementation of high-level languages. He left Ericsson to found Bluetail, the first Erlang startup acquired by Nortel in 2000. He now works for the Swedish Defense Material Administration (FMV) where he is not able to use Erlang. He does, however, still program Erlang in his spare time and take part in the Erlang community.]]> Erlang Training and ConsultingEvents http://www.erlang-consulting.com/erlang/events.html#57 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Abstract:Refactoring is the process of improving the design of a program without changing its semantics. Wrangler is a refactor tool for Erlang, which supports plenty of refactorings. After giving a short introduction to the Wrangler project, Melinda will explain her goal of finding new useful refactorings and implement them. These include a refactoring to group function arguments into a tuple, and a refactoring to create a record from a tuple. This latter refactoring requires investigation of common usage patters for "record-like" usage of patterns in Erlang programs. George will then describe his project of integrating Wrangler in the Eclipse platform, as a part of the Erlide project. He will describe the integration process, how communication works in the system, as well as providing a short demo of the system as well.
Biography:Gyorgy and Melinda started their studies of computer science at the Eotves Lorand University of Hungary in 2004. They received their bachelor's degree in the February of 2008, and have worked with the RefactorErl project at Eotves Lorand University. They came to the University of Kent at Canterbury as an Erasmus exchange student in February, and have been working with the Wrangler tool since then. ]]> Erlang Training and ConsultingEvents http://www.erlang-consulting.com/erlang/events.html#42 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Erlang eXchange website.
