For the free approach check out <a href="http://www.learnyousomeerlang.com" type="url" target="_blank">www.learnyousomeerlang.com</a><br><br>I learned from Joe Armstrong's book Programming Erlang (Pragmatic Bookshelf)<br>
<br>There's also Erlang Programming by Francesco Cesarini (O'Reilly).<br><br>Most recently is Erlang and OTP in Action, by Martin Logan (Manning). This one puts special emphasis on using the OTP framework. I haven't read this one yet, but I've been to one of the ErlangCamps (which I gather follow a similar curriculum as the book) run by Martin, and can only imagine it's a great book.<span style="font-family:Prelude, Verdana, san-serif"><br>

First read (gives you a sense of early achievement and keeps you motivated, since you make progress quite fast) -- 'Thinking in Erlang'.</div>
<div>2. A kind of style guide <a href="http://www.erlang.se/doc/programming_rules.shtml">http://www.erlang.se/doc/programming_rules.shtml</a></div><div>3. Joe's book (by this time, I could make progress, much faster)</div>
<div>4. 'Erlang in Practise' video tutorials (paid, but very economical). Much easier to follow, once you've gone thru step 1/2/3, and you can very quickly get a feel or real-life application development. While there are books which do the same, but as they say, a picture (or a video) is worth several thousand words. Coming from the Ruby (& esply so if RoR) world, you'd spoilt with choices / availability of ample such videos. While there are quite a few video tutorials for Erlang, only few are hard-core programming centric, where they show you creation of something interesting.</div>
