Erlang in Practice - Screencasts with Kevin Smith

Pragmatic has renamed Kevin's screencast series to "Erlang in Practice".

So far there have been six episodes:

• Episode 1: Sending and Receiving Chat Messages ($5.00, 30 mins)
• Episode 2: Messaging Clients By Nickname ($5.00, 29 mins)
• Episode 3: Distributing Clients In A Multi-node Environment ($5.00, 31 mins)
• Episode 4: Storing Messages in the Mnesia Database ($5.00, 39 mins)
• Episode 5: Unit Testing with EUnit ($5.00, 29 mins)
• Episode 6: Adding REST Support with MochiWeb ($5.00, 46 mins)

I bought episode 5 and liked it, so I bought the rest as well.

The price is fair, especially if you live in the Euro zone, thanks to the weak dollar I paid around €3.20 per episode.

Erlang by Example - Screencasts with Kevin Smith

Pragmatic offers a series of commercial videos, "Erlang by Example - Screencasts with Kevin Smith".

It is intended to help learning Erlang by going through an example project, a chat application.

So far there are three episodes of about 1/2 hour, priced at $5.

Another Erlang Book Project

Hypothetical Labs' Kevin Smith is working on an Erlang book for the Pragmatic Programmers (link). This project will focus on Erlang for web applications. David seems to like what he has seen so far (link).
