Erlang for web-developers

[Roberto Saccon]

For PDF you could use http://pdflib.de, wich is commercial, but worth
its price and ships with C source code, so you could build a
port-driver (never done that myself, I am also new to Erlang), and for
RPC with flash you could use Yarivs haxe remoting module.
