+
+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.
