I have written a more quickly paced Erlang tutorial some years ago, it is not even online anymore, but here is a copy from archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20080708140354/http://www.stifflog.com/2007/05/09/erlang-for-the-practical-man/ http://web.archive.org/web/20080708140354/http://www.stifflo... I must shamelessly say it seems to have aged reasonably well, unlike some other things I wrote I actually read it now with interest, especially I haven't dabbled in Erlang since and forgot some details. I recommend everyone who finds fun in programming to give Erlang a shot, I don't think it's great for all the use cases (what is?), but, for example, for writing servers of all kinds it's totally awesome, especially with OTP, which I didn't cover in my tutorial. It's also completely different from everything else, even if you know Prolog or Haskell/ML, which are related in some ways. One day I would really like to get myself together and write something like a game server for poker or bridge in it.
