I like Joe's, and the o'reilly book better. The examples aren't that great on this one and unlike the book claims the other books do cover some OTP. Read this one only after you've read the first two books, but even then I don't know if it was worth it.
- silentbicycle 16y agoI have all three, and think they're complementary. I like Joe Armstrong's book, but don't think it's very good as a reference - it jumps around too much. The O'Reilly book is better organized, but with both, OTP comes in kind of as an afterthought. I'm glad to have another that focuses primarily on it, because there are too many details about paths, deployment, etc. to just have one chapter about it 2/3 of the way through. I didn't realize how many common issues OTP completely handles until the presentations at ErlangCamp.
- mishmash 16y agoMy thoughts agree. I made it about halfway through the other two books before things kind of fell apart and I didn't really know how to apply Erlang IRL. Just bought this and hoping it completes the picture.
