any recommendation for tutorials on functional programming

[Joe Armstrong (AL/EAB)]

Start by reading this.

http://www.erlang.org/doc/doc-5.5/pdf/getting_started-5.5.pdf


Print it out and read it in the bath or on an omnibus.

Better still read it in the bath, then leave you copy on an omnibus
for somebody else to pick up and enjoy.

To find this and other documents go to http://www.erlang.org/doc.html

Click on the the first link http://www.erlang.org/doc/doc-5.5/doc/

Then on any of the links in the sidebar in the category "Erlang
programming"
 
PDF manuals can be found here

http://www.erlang.org/doc/doc-5.5/pdf/ 

Once you have read "getting started" proceed to

http://www.erlang.org/doc/doc-5.5/pdf/programming_examples-5.5.pdf

Or part one of the Erlang book is at

http://www.erlang.org/download/erlang-book-part1.pdf

Still a good read :-)

Cheers

/Joe
