Erlang Learning Resources

Erlang is definitely a niche language, but its future development prospects are incalculable because it can solve the difficult problem of parallel computing in traditional languages. Erlang is a function type (a variable can only be assigned once), a strong type, and a dynamic type (the variable type is determined at runtime and can be executed only after the code is compiled. It is different from Python, Ruby, and so on) concurrency oriented language. Recently, an intern company developed a project using Erlang, which has a strong interest in this language. Below we will collect some learning resources commonly used by Erlang:

Thinking in Erlang, thinking about Erlang, an excellent 30-page introduction to C/C ++/Java/Python developers who have never used functional programming.
The authors of practical programming (Pragmatic programmer) and rails Agile programming write the book programming Erlang. This book has two chapters detailing the OTP library.
Dave Thomas (of the pragmatic programmer fame) wrote two great articles on his blog about Erlang: Article UN, article
Deux.

Of course, there is also the official Erlang Website: Erlang homepage.

Jay Nelson wrote an excellent, informative email about why Erlang (instead of Java + JSP) is used to develop a web site and game server. He mentioned many reasons and compared multiple languages, telling you that only the erlangotp platform can provide you with high performance that other languages cannot provide.
