No. Last ones I read were about XMPP and the leading Erlang server implementation of it known as eJabberd. It was fun in a way to learn from a textbook, but I think it's just too slow and deliberate for modern programming. Even back then, the real learning only started when I sat down with eJabberd's src, a code editor, and a compiler. Nowadays things move faster. Mainstream software tools shouldn't require a serious manual, and for special snags, your best friends are solid GitHub Gists and StackOverflow answers. Math is a different story. The last tech book I acquired was on FreeBSD system administration, found discarded on a street in Berkeley, CA.
