Teaching Functional Programming and Erlang: The Galician Experience ?
Víctor M. Gulías · 2005
Abstract. In this paper, we present the experience of teaching functional programming in the Computer Engineering programme of a Galician University, the University of A Coruña. Erlang is introduced as part of an optional course on functional programming as an example of application of functional paradigm to the real world and most of the students really appreciate the beauty of the language when describing concurrent systems. In fact, several students choose Erlang every year as development framework for their Master’s Thesis or for conducting research in our doctorate programme. 1
