When you start learning Erlang, it’s usually easier to find materials that would guide you on how to write Erlang code that works. Sometimes you’ll find tips and tricks on how to make it faster/more performant. But it’s much harder to find information on how to write idiomatic code, maintainable code that will stand the test of time. That’s simply something that’s not expected from newcommers. While I understand that point of view, I think it’s still important to learn how to do some things in “the right way” from the start. In this talk, I’ll showcase as many beginner’s tips as I can to help speed up everyone’s learning process as much as possible and hopefully make their Erlang learning experience much smoother.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn about usual pitfalls for Erlang beginners.
- Learn about idiomatic code practices in Erlang.
- Improve your code maintainability from day 0.
Target Audience:
- Beginners, mostly. But I’m sure experienced devs can still learn one or two things, too.
