Hi,
I have bought both Joe's Programming Erlang and Cesarini and
Thompson's Erlang Programming books and I enjoy both.
First is more about Why?, second is more about How?. First is more
like technical manual, second is more like education material. First
is more scientific, second is more teaching, but both are perfect.
Chose on your taste. If you want learn more about Why? I can recommend
you Joe's thesis as bonus for free.

And I want to use Erlang to implement a tuple space server and client. At the moment I've not really yet got into the Erlang 'mindset' but my initial idea is to use a process to represent a Tuple and have one process as the space server and a message to that server would create a tuple (ie process) based on the message details.
