<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hi Peter</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I am in the same boat as you: very excited to learn Erlang but somehow finding clear information very cumbersome to get my hands on. Tutorials and many books (well, there are not that many), tend to stick to the basics or go right ahead to the overly complicated almost impossible to understand code. So far the most useful books I have found are "Programming Erlang" by Joe Armstrong and "Introducing Erlang" by Simon St. Laurent.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">If you find anything useful please send it my way. In an ideal world I would like to have something very similar to a university level course book with labs. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Good luck with your learning</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Regards,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Wilmar</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-09-20 2:34 GMT-04:00 Peter J Etheridge <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:petergi@iinet.net.au" target="_blank">petergi@iinet.net.au</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px">Dear List,<div>I assume the Manual is clear to those who understand it.<br>For noobies [like me], the Manual can be re-read and still not explain 'why' or 'how', or answer a question.</div><div>Clearly, the Manual needs to be read in conjunction with ROK's email responses.</div><div>Noobies only learn from Dan & ROK's informative answers when someone as game as Lloyd asks questions.</div><div>I try to imagine Joe's idea of URL's or UUID's somehow linking the Manual to Roger's stash of ROK's answers.<br>Might the Manual be improved by some FAQ in each module?</div></div>
