Another Erlang book for my collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This one takes its time to explain every point. So if you like to go fast and
|
||
|
|
furious, that's not it. Also, because I read some other books (ok, "book")
|
||
|
|
about Erlang, some topics felt a little bit boring, 'cause I did get the point
|
||
|
|
already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, it seems this books also suffer from the "let me use the shell to explain
|
||
|
|
this point". It's not that bad when you want to show a point in the very
|
||
|
|
beginning and then just drop it ('cause, you know, you won't use the shell as
|
||
|
|
part of your application -- you may use as a helper to figure out when things
|
||
|
|
go haywire, but not as a default tool) but not when you're near the middle of
|
||
|
|
the book explaining some important topic, like supervisors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But, at the same time, some topics that the other books (ok, "book") completely
|
||
|
|
ignored, like "how do you build, package and deploy an Erlang application".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But yeah, the "using shell for important stuff" *really* annoyed me.
