Wrap Up
The meeting went great. Nick, though not claiming to be an expert, was very knowledgeable. He is an excellent presenter.
Check out the labs here:
A couple of cool erlang projects we talked about are here:
- Mochiweb: Erlang library for building lightweight HTTP servers.
- Web Machine: Erlang library useful for building web based APIs. One really cool feature is the flow charts of where things break.
