Fred Hebert is an Erlang enthusiast based in the unexplored Northern
parts of Quebec (relatively speaking). He is so enthusiastic, in fact, that he
started writing Learn You Some Erlang
for great good! a free online book designed to teach Erlang, functional
programming and basic computer science concepts.
He started his career working with backend services for medium to large scale
web sites, but php just did not do it. In 2010 Erlang Solutions came to the
rescue! He is now working with course development and e-learning while
remaining true to web applications, this time, written in Erlang.
