Bob Ippolito, Exploring Erlang. It's being used for MochiAds. Nice introductory slides.
Some of the Java people looking at Erlang are finding that it's not Java.
There's a reason for this. Unless you've done a fair bit of Lisp or other functional programming, you're not likely to "get" sequential Erlang in a day. Some will, others will practice then "get" it, and still others will run back to Java and pull the blanket over their heads.
That's fine. Just be aware: if you've only ever programmed with...
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) ...
...then you will have to learn to think differently. There is a reason for this.
That's fine.

Patrick,
Don't have your e-mail. Mine's redline6561 AT gmail DOT com. Had an e-mail conversation with Tim Sweeney about STM vs Message Passing as a sort of follow up to my former article. Also have been in touch with Andre Pang. Sweeney's has given me consent to publish his e-mail on my blog. Would love your input, thought you might like to be involved.
Regards,
Brit Butler
