[erlang-questions] Erlounge in Provo, Utah May 8th

[pat eyler]

The UtahValley.rb and BYU-RUG are trying something new.  In place of
our regular May 8th meeting, we're going to be hosting an 'erlounge'
(an Erlang-centered meeting) Hopefully this will be the first of many
monthly erlounges.  (No, this doesn't mean we're giving up Ruby --
plan on seeing our regular Ruby meetings for a long time to come.)

We'll meet at 7 PM in the large conference room at the Open Source
Technology Center in Building A on the Novell Campus in Provo.  During
the meeting, we'll look at the first 6 chapters of 'Programming Erlang'
by Joe Armstrong.

Erlang is a highly concurrent, functional language.  It was initially
developed over 10 years ago for programming cell phone switches.
Today, it is used for a variety of applications where stability,
performance, and concurrency are essential.

In his forward to 'Programming Erlang' Joe Armstrong writes "I had fun
writing this book.  I hope you have fun reading it.  Now go read the
book, write some code, and have fun."  Let's take his advice and have
some fun reading and hacking erlang together.
