-== Erlang for beginners
-
-Chances are you are interested in using Cowboy, but have
-no idea how to write an Erlang program. Fear not! This
-chapter will help you get started.
-
-We recommend two books for beginners. You should read them
-both at some point, as they cover Erlang from two entirely
-different perspectives.
-
-=== Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good!
-
-The quickest way to get started with Erlang is by reading
-a book with the funny name of http://learnyousomeerlang.com[LYSE],
-as we affectionately call it.
-
-It will get right into the syntax and quickly answer the questions
-a beginner would ask themselves, all the while showing funny
-pictures and making insightful jokes.
-
-You can read an early version of the book online for free,
-but you really should buy the much more refined paper and
-ebook versions.
-
-=== Programming Erlang
-
-After writing some code, you will probably want to understand
-the very concepts that make Erlang what it is today. These
-are best explained by Joe Armstrong, the godfather of Erlang,
-in his book http://pragprog.com/book/jaerlang2/programming-erlang[Programming Erlang].
-
-Instead of going into every single details of the language,
-Joe focuses on the central concepts behind Erlang, and shows
-you how they can be used to write a variety of different
-applications.
