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.
