Book: Hardcore Erlang

Rate this Message:
I signed up with Pragmatic Programmers to write a new Erlang book.
Working title is Hardcore Erlang and it will be built around OpenPoker. The emphasis of the book will be more on showing how to write scalable Erlang servers and less on how to write a poker server. Apart from the following topics, are there any other topics you would like me to cover? Thanks, Joel ---- - The architecture of a poker server from far above - Thinking processes instead of objects - Game logic - Stacking state machines - Swapping logic - Storing data in Mnesia - State machines (gen_fsm) - OTP behaviours - Poker bots - Simulating players - Scripting - Designing a network protocol - Binary parsing - Pickler combinators - Automatic clustering - Fault tolerance and fail-over - Load balancing - Testing a network server - Debugging Erlang software Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com _______________________________________________ erlang-questions mailing list erlang-questions@... http://www.erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions |

> - Fault tolerance and fail-over
I'd include startup and shutdown in this part. A system that is not completely up may be on it's way up (startup), on its way down (shutdown) or failing over. Doing the right thing for each scenario (and in a way that doesn't break the others) is sometimes very tricky. Sounds like a very useful book.

Some items:
- how to bridge to other systems (through a message bus maybe, e.g. RabbitMQ) to "push data out" - how to handle state for a connected user and bridge to a user interface (Web or other) - how to handle updates of data formats (records) without breaking all the chain Looking forward to read it (now I finished Joe's book:-). When can we expect to see it on the shelves?

I would like to see full real-life example of how to deploy OpenPoker on AWS (EC2, S3) and full life-cycle management of such a system:
* initial deployment * monitoring and management * handling Mnesia persistence and distribution * hot code upgrades Zvi

Hi,
Vendetta Online is a MMORPG which use Erlang for the servers. This can be an good idea to ask the development team about their experience.

I'd be especially interested in seeing some operational issues * One of my servers has a process that has jumped to 100% CPU. How do I find out what's going on? * One of my gen_servers is in a restart loop. How can I trace it and find out why? * The mnesia server has too much I/O load, so we want to add another fragment node. How do I do it? etc > Thanks, Joel > ---- > > - The architecture of a poker server from far above > > - Thinking processes instead of objects > > - Game logic > - Stacking state machines > - Swapping logic > > - Storing data in Mnesia > > - State machines (gen_fsm) > > - OTP behaviours > > - Poker bots > - Simulating players > - Scripting > > - Designing a network protocol > - Binary parsing > - Pickler combinators > > - Automatic clustering > > - Fault tolerance and fail-over > > - Load balancing > > - Testing a network server > > - Debugging Erlang software > > Thanks, Joel > > -- > http://wagerlabs.com > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > erlang-questions mailing list > erlang-questions@... > http://www.erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions _______________________________________________ erlang-questions mailing list erlang-questions@... http://www.erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions |

There's a bit out there now on developing in erlang, but very little on deployment. May be a section entitled "Moving from development to deployment" covering such things as tightening things down, automated start up of the various components/application, node startup, getting it to play nice with unix startup scripts. Actually, on that note I've been thinking it might be useful to have a node start up script and separate application[1] start up scripts for a System V style startup, ie, to would look something like starting erlang node red... ok starting erlang node blue... ok starting app1 on node red... ok starting app1 on node blue... ok starting app2 on node red... ok starting app3 on node blue.. ok etc. This might make erlang integrate better with unix (on other OSes) and not appear so isolated/strange to the everyday system admin which would in turn make addoption easier by lowering the learning curve from the admin's perspective. [1] By application here I mean a "macro-application" which may be made up of one or more erlang or "micro-" applications.

Hi Joel,
How about the following topics? Not all of them are applicable for OpenPoker but I think they should be present in any "Hardcore Erlang" book. * Interoperability with other languages (java, c...etc) including ports * Detailed discussion of OTP and behaviours. I've been looking at current documentation but I know there are lots that are not there * Future direction of Erlang like web (Erlyweb?) Ajax...etc Thanks for your contribution.
