LambdaPad source files for erlangpatterns.org

Erlang Patterns

Please note that http://erlangpatterns.org is no longer maintained. Don't look for actual Erlang patterns there - it's something else now.

This repo should be migrated to use GitHub pages so it can be viewed as a proper website. The original site was generated with LambdaPad, which is also no longer maintained.

If anyone wants to migrate this to GitHub pages, that would be extremely helpful!

Contributing to the Patterns

Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for the project contribution policy.

If you want to add a pattern, simply add a file to the patterns directory that follows the conventions of the other pattern documents in that directory.

To modify a pattern, simply edit the applicable file.

Please submit a pull request to the project to apply your changes.

Currently erlangpatterns.org is updated manually by the project administrator using the master branch of this repository.

If you'd like to ask a question or raise an issue about a pattern, please use the project's issue tracking system.

You can view the presentation by simply opening the file:

Website styling problems

It seems that website could have some problems with CSS -

Checked in Chrome/Firefox - result looks the same

add license

Would you please add a license to the repo?

Anti-patters

A few people asked about "anti patterns" --- or patterns that one might want to avoid, or bad patterns.

This is a great idea! How would we do this?

It looks like the site reloading isn't working or is incomplete

I can see the feed of contributors, however the new content isn't there.

Just out of curiosity, why not using Jekyll + GitHub Pages for the same purposes? That could have saved a lot of operational problems. Did it have less capabilities then lambdapad?

Maybe an old thing of mine is salvageable in this context

Hi,

Awesome idea! I know several people who have been toying with the same idea more than once or twice. I have an old document which mentions some etorrent patterns and perhaps something in there pertains to this project. For instance, what you call 'cleanup crew' is something I've called 'janitor' in the past. But there are other patterns in there which you might want to add. Note: I have yet to study the patterns extensively, so I don't understand if I'm writing something which is already covered.

Resource links

Consider a new page with links to related resources, including e.g. links to Alexander's work or other software patterns materials that would be helpful or server as examples, good or bad.

Site background goes green in mobile mode

Site background goes green (#E3E9DC) in mobile mode.

Text is difficult to read

The text on the site is difficult to read because of the following:

• Font: the font is too thin and high, quite unusual for wikis and article sites. Georgia, Helvetica or Verdana would be more appropriate.
• Not enough contrast with the background
• Lines are too long, text should be centred with a limited column count.

Add a pattern for "Pattern Matching"

Add a file within patterns/ demonstrating the use of pattern matching as opposed to other techniques.

Code snippets not showing up?

Was browsing the site for the first time and noticed what appear to be template calls showing up instead of the intended code.

Need contextualized examples

It would be very helpful to have links to real-world examples of these patterns, pointing to specific files within projects on github.

Lists not rendered as lists?

Looking at chain.md, it includes a markdown bulleted list. The generated HTML does include it as a <ul>, but when rendered in a browser there are no bullets- they're just three separate lines.

Just curious if this is intended, thanks.
