Andrea Leopardi's book titled 'Network Programming in Elixir and Erlang' provides in-depth knowledge on developing network-intensive applications using Elixir and Erlang. The book covers various network protocols such as TCP, UDP, DNS, and HTTP, and explains how the BEAM's actor model complements network operations. It includes practical projects like building a chat server, a Redis client, and a JSON API with real-time WebSockets support. The emphasis is on scalability, reliability, and performance leveraging decades of network solutions adopted by the BEAM ecosystem. The book aims to guide developers through effective use of network protocols, design patterns, and avoiding common pitfalls in network programming on the BEAM.
