I've been interested in Erlang for several years now (especially
vis-a-vis Carl Hewitt et al.'s Actor Model), but was intimidated by
the syntax and jargon until Joe Armstrong wrote his new (and
incredibly approachable) book 'Programming Erlang' -- published by the
Pragmatic Programmers you linked to. Armstrong also wrote his 2003
doctoral thesis on Erlang, which he published online: "Making reliable
distributed systems in the presence of software errors".
