I’ve been meaning to get around to playing with Erlang for a while now. Tonight I set aside 30 minutes to watch the first of the Pragmatic Programmer’s Erlang Screencasts by Kevin Smith: Erlang By Example.
Each screencast is very reasonably priced at $5 a piece. I bought the first one, in which you learn how to build a simple chat system. I downloaded it immediately, excited to think that in only 30 minutes time I’d know lots more about Erlang than I did when I woke up this morning.
