Erlang Book

[Casper]

Hi,

I think Erlang has a good documentation. I started looking at Erlang just
about 1 month back and went through the Part 1 of Erlang book
(erlang-book-part1.pdf) and now only depend on Erlang Documentation. If you
need to go in to more complex methods, there're vast amount of research and
other papers on the net.

Regards,
Eranga
