Concurrent Programming in ERLANG
This comprehensive note is an introduction to concurrent programming using the ERLANG language, well suited for developing robust applications. It starts with a tutorial on ERLANG basics, introducing the reader to sequential programming concepts and use of lists and tuples. Concurrent and distributed programming is at the very core, detailing strategies for managing multiple processes effectively. It is underlined that good error handling should be achieved and best programming practice performed to create a more robust application, and therefore developers can gracefully handle their problems. This note also puts emphasis on functions and standard libraries that are built in and enhanced the functionality of ERLANG. This resource is invaluable for any programmer who needs to take advantage of the best features of ERLANG in concurrent programming through the presentation of different applications and discussion on common errors in ERLANG.

Concurrent Programming Class Notes (PDF 110P)
These class notes give a course outline that is conducted in-depth on concurrent programming. They include the basic concepts of parallel programming, multi-processing, and multi-threading. Threads' definitions and properties are presented, such as lifecycle processes and the structure of concurrent hardware architecture. The basic algorithms form the foundation, including Kessel's and ticket algorithms, with semantic and the bakery algorithm as the key synchronization tools. Another topic that the material will be discussing about concurrency issues is deadlock and speculative multithreading. This book is a resource on getting an easy-to-access introduction to concurrent programming principles; it is excellent for student and professional readers who want to learn about how to effectively manage concurrent processes in software applications.
