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 [LYSE](http://learnyousomeerlang.com), -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 [Programming Erlang](http://pragprog.com/book/jaerlang2/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. - -At the time of writing, the 2nd edition of the book is in beta, -and includes a few details about upcoming Erlang features that -cannot be used today. Choose the edition you want, then get -reading! |
