It's an amazing book, a rare example of well balanced content. Highly recommended.

This.

Another obvious but useful site is http://www.erlang.org/doc

I especially tend to spend a lot of time on the pages at http://www.erlang.org/doc/man

Yes, but they're not very beginner-friendly and not that user friendly.

I'm sure I'll use them extensively later when I get more into this.

Yes it really is a great book!

However, it is by no means a suitable book for people who haven't programmed anything yet, the author assumes that you are already familiar with coding. So for absolute beginners the book is probably way too difficult.

The trapexit guys are planning to release "Practical Erlang Programing".

Thanks! Great resources, both.

programming erlang is a very good book!
