Erlang編程

前言

What made us start writing this book in the first place is the enthusiasm we share for Erlang. We wanted to help get the word out, giving back a little of what the community has given to us. Although we both got into Efiang for very different reasons, the end result was the same: lots of fun hours doing lots of fun stuff at a fraction of the effort it would have taken with other languages. And best of all, it is not a tool we use for hobby projects, but one we use on a daily basis in our real jobs! Francesco: Why Erlang? The year was 1994. While studying computer science at Uppsala University, one of the courses I took was on parallel programming. The lecturer held up the first edition of Concurrent Programming in Erlang (Prentice Hall) and said, "Read it." He then held up a handout and added, "These are the exercises, do them," after which Erlang barely got a mention; it was quickly overshadowed with the theory of threads, shared memory,semaphores, and deadlocks. As the main exercise for this course, we had to implement a simulated world inhabited by carrots, rabbits, and wolves. Rabbits would roam this world eating carrots that grew in random patches. When they had eaten enough carrots, the rabbits would get fat and split in two. Wolves ran around eating up the rabbits; if they managed to catch and eat enough rabbits, they would also get fat and split. Rabbits and wolves within a certain distance of each other would broadcast information on food and predators. If a rabbit found a carrot patch, other rabbits would quickly join him. If a wolf found a rabbit,the pack would start chasing it.

內(nèi)容概要

本書深入介紹了Erlang，這是一門滿足高并發(fā)、容錯和快速響應(yīng)等苛刻要求的理想編程語言。隨著多核CPU以及與之俱來的新并發(fā)擴展方式嶄露頭角，Erlang正在獲得更廣泛的接受和應(yīng)用。只要擁有這本指南，無論此前的編程水平或經(jīng)驗如何，你都將學會用Erlang編寫復(fù)雜的并發(fā)程序。    《Erlang編程》由Erlang國際社區(qū)的兩位領(lǐng)袖級人物基于他們的培訓教材撰寫，重點解析該語言的語法和語義，并詳細闡述模式匹配、嚴格列表(proper lists)、遞歸、調(diào)試、網(wǎng)絡(luò)與并發(fā)等重要概念的精髓要義。    本書可以幫助你：理解并掌握Erlang的諸多強項，以及其設(shè)計者潛心設(shè)計的各種特性；學習并發(fā)背后的概念和Erlang相應(yīng)的處理方法；編寫高效的Erlang程序，并且保持代碼整潔易讀；發(fā)現(xiàn)Erlang如何滿足分布式系統(tǒng)的需求；小試牛刀，添加簡單圖形用戶界面；學習Erlang的追蹤機制，用于調(diào)試并發(fā)和分布式系統(tǒng)；使用內(nèi)嵌的Mnesia數(shù)據(jù)庫和其他表存儲特性。    無論你是新手還是富有經(jīng)驗的Erlang開發(fā)者，《Erlang編程》都是案頭必備的重要參考資料。
