- gtani 18y agoactually only a couple chapters, right now http://patricklogan.blogspot.com/2008/08/concurrent-programming-with-erlang-otp.html http://patricklogan.blogspot.com/2008/08/concurrent-programm...
- Shooter 18y agoIt looks promising... I wrote the authors and asked them to reconsider the Silverlight chapter, though. I think focusing on Flash/Flex integration (or even something else entirely) would be much more useful to the community. Silverlight has very little traction, and Flash/Flex have better platform and open-source support. Silverlight integration would be a wasted chapter for many, I think.
- vegai 18y agoEven better would be something based on open standards with several good implemenations rather than proprietary crap. Javascript + ???, I would suppose.
- Shooter 18y ago"proprietary crap" Look again. Everything we use from Adobe is open-sourced. EX: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/site/Home http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/site/Home
- evgen 18y agoIt appears to me that the entirety of section 3 has very little to do with OTP. What would have been far more useful would be chapters on debugging, distel, more digging into the hidden corners of OTP, and a chapter or two dedicated to mnesia. Too bad, but at least there are two other erlang books coming out in the next six months or so...
- Shooter 18y agoI tend to agree, although I didn't want to jump to too many conclusions just based on chapter titles. A chapter with Silverlight in the title is a dead giveaway, though ;-) Is anyone writing a book just on Mnesia/DB integration?
