Concurrent Programming in Pharo
This PDF offers a real-world understanding of concurrent programming in the Pharo programming environment by concentrating on it. First, it introduces concurrent programming and leads to a simple example based on which the fundamental ideas are constructed. Some important concepts include creating processes, lifetimes, ProcessorScheduler, priorities of processes, and scheduler rules so that one can understand the management of the flow of executions. Discussions on important APIs accompany working examples of semaphores, which should help developers in their ability to learn synchronization techniques. It is designed for programmers to acquire all the skills one would need to implement concurrent solutions effectively in Pharo and thus can be a valuable member of any programmer's library.

Concurrent Programming in ERLANG
This comprehensive note is an introduction to concurrent programming using the ERLANG language, well suited for developing robust applications. It starts with a tutorial on ERLANG basics, introducing the reader to sequential programming concepts and use of lists and tuples. Concurrent and distributed programming is at the very core, detailing strategies for managing multiple processes effectively. It is underlined that good error handling should be achieved and best programming practice performed to create a more robust application, and therefore developers can gracefully handle their problems. This note also puts emphasis on functions and standard libraries that are built in and enhanced the functionality of ERLANG. This resource is invaluable for any programmer who needs to take advantage of the best features of ERLANG in concurrent programming through the presentation of different applications and discussion on common errors in ERLANG.
