Comments about oreilly Programming Web Services with Erlang:
I am a java programmer by heart, and yet I found this book highly informative as well as giving a great insight into what can be achieved with elegant Erlang. There are ample useful realworld examples provided as well as the core understanding behind the language itself. I would definately reccomend this book to anyone looking to develop high performance, high access and fault tolerant services.
