July 21, 2010 we had two great talks: LandShark, and Erlang Idioms.Garrett's talk demoed his LandShark web infrastructure. He is using LandShark to make developing web based applications easier.

Here's the video from the group meeting on 6/2/2010 on "How to use OTP". OTP makes coding with Erlang just so much easier. OTP just abstracts so much coding away. Jon Patton discussed using gen_servers and Tristan Sloughter discussed using gen_supervisors. Great talks guys!!A couple of other impromptu talks were also given. Martin Logan talked about terminology and how we can discuss and

Finally, there was a joint Q&A session which can be found here.Our next meeting is tentatively schedule for June 2nd at Orbitz. The meeting will cover the reasons why to choose OTP for all

This is the second Erlang OTP video for the Chicago Erlang User Group April 21st meeting. Garrett covers transitioning to Erlang from Python and also does a great job talking about why Erlang in the first place. He humorously covers broad topics in this video from the Erlang standard library, to recursion, to how OTP is like Django!  Definitely worth watching.If you are interested in coming to

We had a great chicago erlang user group meeting this April the 21st.  With almost 40 in attendance it was a packed house for sure.  We had two great talks. First was Chris Duesing on easing the transition to Erlang from Java and then Garrett Smith did similar but from a Python perspective.  Following that we had a long Q & A session.  Here is the video of Chris's talk.  He covers in the video

Two Chicago Erlangers will be doing something similar to this, for the Hackathon at Pumping Station in our fair city .They are planning on putting together an interactive multiuser game with a Javascript client running in the browser connecting to an Erlang backend running in a Mochiweb server. It'll use long-polling comet to keep the players' browsers updated.If anyone else in the area is

Lennart Ohman( pictured below) gave a great talk on the history of OTP(and BOS!). It was great to see the lighter side of how Erlang came about. The full pictures can be found here.

The second Chicago Erlang User Group meeting was a really nice time. Orbitz was kind enough to host it at their headquarters. About 17 folks showed up and so did about 10 different kinds of really nice beer - and some Ice House which remained unfinished. Lennart Ohman one of the creators of OTP came and gave a presentation which entertained everyone in attendance. You can find the presentation
