Cameron Laird's personal notes on Erlang

The standard references on the Erlang computing language, including:

the Erlang home page
the canonical FAQ
I like this workshop paper as an introduction to the language
Joe Armstrong's long-awaited doctoral dissertation
the Open Directory "jump table"
the Getting Started with Erlang programming page
the download page is the necessary starting-point for Erlang-hacking
Concurrent Programming in Erlang is the Erlang book you most need to read; notice, for example, this comment
Erlang's reference documentation, in various formats
Chris Pressey's Erlang examples
Erlang course
"Concurrent Functional Programming ..." reviews Erlang's history
proofs of correctness are among my motivations for working with Erlang
the Erlang Wiki

In February 2002, our own breezy introduction, "Erlang is worth a look", emphasized the language's software engineering and abilities to distribute calculations.

"OTP" is an acronym for "Open Telecom Platform". A detailed description appears here.

As much as I like and respect the rather academically-oriented traditional works on Erlang, I'm planning on putting together in spring and summer 2002 my own notes on "Erlang for the Working Programmer". Watch this space for updates.
