Perhaps your use of Erlang has made you curious about other functional programming languages? Perhaps you are faced with having to understand and interface with other languages in your work? Or perhaps you just want to learn something new? This track lets you widen your horizons and delve into things non-Erlang.

Erlang in Databases, host: Kevin Smith

Ever since Mnesia entered the scene in 1995, Erlang has been a language for the most discriminating database hackers. With CouchDB, Scalaris and Riak, Erlang is now on the forefront of the NoSQL wave - the biggest revolution in the database world since E.F. Codd invented the Relational Model.

Case Studies, host: Thomas Arts

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their association with other technologies rather than Erlang.

Erlang and Test-Driven Development, host: Hans Nilsson

Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on Erlang and model checking has gone on for almost as long. This track covers test-driven development ranging from hands-on practical industrial experience to the latest news from the research front.

Erlang and the VM, host: Ulf Wiger

Fueled by the new and more open development model for Erlang/OTP, there is increasing activity to extend Erlang into new application areas, new hardware configurations, and new language environments. This track presents some of these extensions, and discusses how to manage the evolution of the language.
