School of Erlang

This repository is a collection of explanations and ordered exercises. Their purpose is to allow somebody with limited programming experience to enter the world of Erlang.

First classes

Everything about the first classes can be found on the First_classes_solutions branch.

Second classes

For the remaining part of the classes, we will be creating a hotdesking application. During second classes we will learn the basics of:

• what an Erlang process is
• how the processes are started
• processes links and monitors
