<h1 class="lined-header"><span>Erlang for beginners</span></h1>

<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>We recommend two books for beginners. You should read them
both at some point, as they cover Erlang from two entirely
different perspectives.</p></div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_learn_you_some_erlang_for_great_good">Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good!</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The quickest way to get started with Erlang is by reading
a book with the funny name of <a href="http://learnyousomeerlang.com">LYSE</a>,
as we affectionately call it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_programming_erlang">Programming Erlang</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>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 <a href="http://pragprog.com/book/jaerlang2/programming-erlang">Programming Erlang</a>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
