Erlang has some amazing tools to try and debug these cases. Regular panelist Fred joins us to talk about his new book “Erlang in Anger” and his recon library. With these you will be in good shape to debug a system in production without breaking it more.

“…when 100 people are listening to you for an hour, that’s 100 hours of people’s time devoted to what you have to say. If you can’t spend 5 or 10 hours preparing for them, thinking about them, and refining your points to best suit their needs, what does that say about your respect for your audience’s time? It says that your 5 hours are more important than 100 of theirs, which requires an ego larger than the entire solar system. And there is no doubt this disrespect will be obvious once you are on the stage.” – Confessions of a Public Speaker , Scott Berkun Conferences, we talk about them almost every episode, but what are they like, how do you go to your first conference? How do you become a speaker at one and how can we make our conferences better?

Joseph Joins us to talk about his efforts to build a scheme on the Erlang Beam VM. And the challenges that he has run into trying to build scheme. We talk about how erlang can be influenced by the scheme echo system and how implementing things is often a great way to learn how something really works at a deep level. https://mostlyerlang.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mostly_erlang_46_scheme.mp3 Download Link: https://mostlyerlang.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mostly_erlang_46_scheme.mp3 We apologize, but this episode got lost in the shuffle of my travels, so it was recorded a few months ago.

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.” Ok, maybe not that kind of robots, but it Is true that robots often involve several concurrent tasks, including operating machinery, ensuring safety of people in the area, monitoring sensors. Erlang provides a very good way to manage that. WE talk about what is and is not a robot along with what robots can and can’t do.

We are joined by Bruce Tate and Jose Valim to talk about the tools that have been developing around Elixir and how they can help the rest of the Erlang eco system. This is the first of a series of episodes that will explore that wider Erlang eco system including Elixir, LFE, Erlog, LING, LuvieScript, Concurrent Scheme and more   https://mostlyerlang.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/043_elixir_tools.mp3 Download Link https://mostlyerlang.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/043_elixir_tools.mp3 Panel Zachary Kessin @zkessin Jose Valim @josevalim Bruce Tate @redrapids Confrences Erlang Factory Light – Beer Sheva -Cancelled Chicago Erlang CodeMesh DISCOUNT CODE MostlyErlang10 ICFP – Gotenburg Links Jose and Dave’s Erlang Factory Keynote Elixir Lang Erlog Erlog Server Lager Elixir Sips
