At this practical 1-day Erlang Whizz class you will learn about advanced Erlang topics, such as list comprehensions and order functions. You will learn how to use binaries, the powerful bit syntax and to wrap things up with the pre-processor macros.

Records and Funs

• The syntax and semantics of records & pattern matching
• Funs
• Higher order functions

Advanced Constructs

• List comprehensions and their usage
• References
• Binaries, the Bit syntax and pattern matching applied directly to incoming structures
• bit wise and logical operators
• Macros for debugging purposes

Style and Efficiency

• Using binaries to handle large amounts of data
• Preventing bursts of memory usage with tail recursion
• Simple optimisations based on the implementation of the virtual machine and its garbage collector
• Keeping your code neat and readable Coding strategies
