An Introduction to Erlang, and Concurrency in Erlang

I was an attendee for this session of ClePy (Cleveland Python); the docs linked in the article are extremely clear and useful.

Here are direct links (FTA):

Having an entire room full of developers to bounce didactic ideas off of was extremely valuable; I encourage anyone comfortable with the subject to share a similar class with their local developer groups. Sometimes all you need is that little extra push to lower the barrier of entry and gain some momentum in learning a new language.

(Great Lakes beer helps, too.)
