TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, and more: these are the network protocols that make up the fabric of the Internet. Erlang and Elixir are the perfect fit for building network-intensive applications—the BEAM's actor model perfectly mirrors the way nodes operate in a network. Learn about networking and the power of the BEAM to write performant and reliable network applications. Create systems that are scalable, resilient, and efficient, thanks to language primitives and OTP. Take advantage of an ecosystem that has been solving network problems for more than thirty years. Learn about design patterns and common pitfalls for network applications on the BEAM.

From smart appliances to gigantic data centers, from phones to satellites, networks are the way computers talk to each other. Learn how to use network protocols, choose or design serialization protocols, and architect systems with servers and clients.

Start with the most widely-used protocol on the Internet: TCP. Build a chat server where multiple clients can chat in real time. Explore client-side TCP by building a client for Redis. Scale and harden server and client, thanks to features of the BEAM. Then dig into UDP, TCP's "looser" sibling. Code a system for reporting metrics capable of rivaling hardened software like StatsD. Learn about DNS, which powers domain resolution for the Internet. Next, secure your TCP traffic with TLS. Lastly, explore HTTP, the protocol that even your microwave could be using. Build a JSON API, client, and server. Learn the differences between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, and add real-time features via WebSockets.

The BEAM was built for networks and has been honed for more than three decades. It's the perfect fit. Leverage years of real-world experience building network-intensive applications from a member of the Elixir core team, and become an expert at network programming in Elixir and Erlang.

What You Need:

You'll need a computer running a standard distribution of Erlang/OTP, and optionally Elixir. Any recent version of OTP (22 or later) and Elixir (1.11 or later) is fine. For some parts of the book, you'll also need a working Internet connection.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
