The purpose is to create the one-stop place where to find Erlang information. At trapexit you will find: Software that is not in the standard OTP distribution, Documentation and HOWTOs, The Erlang discussion forum, Links to other Erlang sites
Candygram is a Python implementation of Erlang concurrency primitives. Erlang is widely respected for its elegant built-in facilities for concurrent programming. This package attempts to emulate those facilities as closely as possible in Python. With Candygram, developers can send and receive messages between threads using semantics nearly identical to those in the Erlang language.
The Java™ programming language made starting a new thread easier than ever before. But freeing your concurrent programs of obscure bugs is a different matter, and Java's programming model might not be the best available. A language called Erlang is getting some good press now in the areas of concurrency, distributed systems, and soft real-time systems.

They say it takes four days to complete the course. If you know a little Prolog and a little LISP it takes you rather a few hours.
