After the course, the participants should
- be able to implement an OTP application
- have knowledge of the OTP design principles
- have knowledge of the OTP components
Who should attend
Programmers who will be implementing OTP applications.
Prerequisites
Basic- and Continued Erlang courses, or the corresponding knowledge.
At least a few months experience of Erlang programming.
Try out the diagnostic test.
