Preface

What made us start writing this book in the first place is the enthusiasm we share for Erlang. We wanted to help get the word out, giving back a little of what the community has given to us. Although we both got into Erlang for very different reasons, the end result was the same: lots of fun hours doing lots of fun stuff at a fraction of the effort it would have taken with other languages. And best of all, it is not a tool we use for hobby projects, but one we use on a daily basis in our real jobs!
