The Talks at Chicago Erlang

This year’s conference is emphasizing Real World Erlang. So we’ve asked our speakers to tell us about how they do stuff with Erlang. Each talk covers an important aspect of Erlang — and at the end of the day, you’ll have a great sense of what Erlang is about and how it’s used by the experts to solve real world problems.
