    <p>I'm a month-or-so into learning and the guides I'm enjoying most are:</p> <ul> <li>The Erlang Site's <a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/getting_started/users_guide.html" rel="noreferrer">Getting Started with Erlang</a> Guide</li> <li>Joe Armstrong's Book <a href="http://www.pragprog.com/titles/jaerlang/programming-erlang" rel="noreferrer">Software for a Concurrent World</a> (thoroughly recommended)</li> <li>And I have on order: O'Reilly's <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596518189/" rel="noreferrer">Erlang Programming</a> which has had some really positive reviews and sounds like a good companion to Joe Armstrong's book (covering many of the same topics in greater depth, possibly with more "real world" examples)</li> </ul> <p>I think you can dive into the Getting Started guide straight away and it will certainly give you a feel for functional programming and then concurrency.</p> <p>If you're in London this June there is the <a href="http://www.erlang-factory.com" rel="noreferrer">Erlang Factory</a> conference which looks really good.</p> <p>While I remember, these are two good presentations taking you through Erlang and it's uses:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/44221/Thinking-in-Erlang" rel="noreferrer">Thinking in Erlang</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.infoq.com/presentations/joe-armstrong-erlang-qcon08" rel="noreferrer">Functions + Messages + Concurrency = Erlang</a></li> </ul> <p>Finally, you can follow my learning experiences on my blog (<a href="http://www.joelhughes.co.uk/blog" rel="noreferrer">joelhughes.co.uk/blog</a>) my step by step adjustment of <a href="http://www.joelhughes.co.uk/blog/2009/05/erlang-fizzbuzz-showdown-pt-1/" rel="noreferrer">FizzBuzz from python/ruby/php to Erlang</a> might give you a good flavour (sorry about the shameless self promotion).</p> <p>I have to say learning Erlang is currently one of my greatest pleasures, there is something very satisfying about it!</p>
