+# Counter
+
+**TODO: Add description**
+
+## Installation
+
+If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
+by adding `dynamic_counters` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
+
+```elixir
+def deps do
+  [
+    {:dynamic_counters, "~> 0.1.0"}
+  ]
+end
+```
+
+Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
+and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can
+be found at <https://hexdocs.pm/dynamic_counters>.

+# Lecture 06 notes: raw sockets, then splitting a client/server across nodes
+# This file is not meant to be compiled/run as a whole - paste lines into
+# iex (or a shell, where noted) one at a time.
+
+
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+### Part 1: echo/ - plain TCP, no distributed Elixir involved yet
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+
+# load the module definitions into an iex session (run from lectures/06/echo/)
+# iex echo.ex
+
+# Echo.Active / Echo.Passive / Echo.Hybrid all block the calling process
+# forever inside accept/loop, so start them in a spawned process if you
+# want your iex shell back:
+spawn(fn -> Echo.Active.start(6666) end)
+spawn(fn -> Echo.Passive.start(6667) end)
+spawn(fn -> Echo.Hybrid.start(6668) end)
+
+# the GenServer version returns immediately because init/1 just schedules
+# :accept via send(self(), :accept) and returns - no spawn needed
+Echo.start(6666)
+# -> {:ok, #PID<...>}
+
+# quick manual client, no Elixir needed - good for sanity-checking a server
+# nc localhost 6666
+# (type a line, press enter, see it echoed back; Ctrl-D or Ctrl-C to quit)
+
+# or use the provided Elixir client (run from a second terminal):
+# elixir echo_client.ex 127.0.0.1 6666
+# (defaults to 127.0.0.1:6666 if no args given)
+
+# or the Java client (compiles/runs independently - proves the server
+# doesn't care what language/process connects, it's just bytes on a socket)
+# cd ../java && javac EchoClient.java && java EchoClient
+
+
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+### Part 2: distributed Elixir basics - the mechanism the counter/ examples
+### rely on instead of hand-rolled sockets
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+
+# Start two connected BEAM nodes (same machine is fine for testing).
+# --sname gives each node a short name; both MUST share a cookie or they
+# refuse to connect to each other.
+
+# terminal 1 (this will become the "server" node):
+# iex --sname server --cookie lecture06
+
+# terminal 2 (this will become the "client" node):
+# iex --sname client --cookie lecture06
+
+# from either node, connect them:
+Node.connect(:"server@your-hostname")
+# -> true
+# find the exact name to use with: Node.self() (run that on the server node)
+
+Node.list()          # -> [:"client@your-hostname"] (from the server's side)
+Node.self()           # -> the current node's own full name
+
+# :global is what replaces Registry here - Registry is local-to-a-node only,
+# :global registers names cluster-wide once nodes are connected
+:global.registered_names()        # -> [] until something registers
+:global.whereis_name(Counter.Worker)   # -> PID or :undefined
+
+
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+### Part 3: counter/static - one globally-registered counter

+
+# -- server node --
+# cd counter/static/server
+# mix deps.get        # first time only
+# iex --sname server --cookie lecture06 -S mix
+# this boots Counter.Application, which starts Counter.Store (file-backed,
+# "counter.db") and Counter.Worker (registered as {:global, Counter.Worker})
+
+Counter.Worker.value()    # works locally on the server node too
+Counter.Worker.inc(5)
+
+# -- client node --
+# cd counter/static/client   (NOT a mix project - just loose .ex files)
+# iex --sname client --cookie lecture06
+Node.connect(:"server@your-hostname")
+c "worker.ex"              # compiles/loads Counter.Worker (the thin stub)
+
+# these now run against the REAL process living on the server node -
+# no socket code written by us, distributed Erlang routes the GenServer
+# call/cast over the network
+Counter.Worker.inc()
+Counter.Worker.value()
+# -> whatever the server node's Counter.Worker currently holds
+
+# don't call Counter.Worker.start_link/1 from the client - the server's
+# Application already started (and globally registered) the one that
+# matters; starting another just races/duplicates the name
+
+
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+### Part 4: counter/dynamic - many named counters, started on demand,
+### reachable from a remote node
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+
+# -- server node --
+# cd counter/dynamic/server
+# mix deps.get
+# iex --sname server --cookie lecture06 -S mix
+# boots: Registry (local, unused for cross-node lookup), an ETS table for
+# crash-durable state, and Counter.DynamicSupervisor registered as
+# {:global, Counter.DynamicSupervisor}
+
+# -- client node --
+# cd counter/dynamic/client
+# iex --sname client --cookie lecture06
+Node.connect(:"server@your-hostname")
+c "dynamic_supervisor.ex"
+c "worker.ex"
+
+# ask the REMOTE supervisor (on the server node) to spawn a new worker -
+# the child process is started under the server's supervision tree, not
+# the client's
+Counter.DynamicSupervisor.start_worker("c1")
+# -> {:ok, #PID<...>}   (a server-node PID)
+
+Counter.Worker.inc("c1")
+Counter.Worker.inc("c1", 5)
+Counter.Worker.value("c1")
+# -> 6
+
+# start as many independent counters as you like, all living on the
+# server node, all addressable from the client by name:
+Enum.each(1..5, fn n -> Counter.DynamicSupervisor.start_worker("c#{n}") end)
+Enum.each(1..5, fn n -> Counter.Worker.inc("c#{n}", n) end)
+Enum.map(1..5, fn n -> Counter.Worker.value("c#{n}") end)
+# -> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+
+# kill a worker on the server node and watch it come back with its value
+# intact (DynamicSupervisor restarts it, ETS on the server supplies the
+# last known value in init/1):
+# on the SERVER node:
+Process.exit(:global.whereis_name("c1"), :kill)
+# back on the CLIENT node:
+Counter.Worker.value("c1")
+# -> still 1 (reloaded from the server's ETS table in init/1, same pattern
+# as lecture 05's local DynamicSupervisor/Registry/ETS combo - just now the
+# "local" side is a different machine)
+
+
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+### Misc / troubleshooting
+### ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ###
+
+# cookie mismatch or wrong hostname are the two most common reasons
+# Node.connect/1 silently returns false - check `iex --sname` output for
+# the exact full node name, and make sure both nodes used the same --cookie
+
+# run a mix app's tests / compile without a full iex session:
+# mix test
+# mix compile
+# mix run --no-halt      # boots the Application and just hangs there running
