Build It with Nitrogen: The Fast-Off-the-Block Erlang Web Framework

It is indeed very websockety. While it is a server-side rendering framework, it relies heavily on javascript and websockets (or fallback to ajax, if websockets aren't available).

However, there isn't a built-in mechanism to handle a client who simply doesn't have javascript enabled at all. Interfaces could be built with traditional HTML forms, but I understand that's not the same thing.

Thank you! You're right, the leanpub listing should have a link to the project's homepage, and a link to the Github.

And I had removed the "Fork me on Github" banner thing from the nitrogenproject.com homepage, and forgot to re-add a proper link to the github. I've rectified both of these.

Thanks again!

Honestly, only tangentially (at best). Nitrogen is fundamentally an Erlang web framework, however the OTP skills learned should be universal. but we don't dive too deeply into OTP. We introduce gen_servers and supervisors and leave it at that. Most of the book is spent with the specifics of Nitrogen.

That said, the demos[1] on the Nitrogen homepage can give you a pretty good sampling of how the framework works.
