Did you study computer science at university?

Nop, to be honest, I didn’t go to university or college at all :upside_down_face:.

Are you self taught?

Yep.

Which books have you read that you found helpful?

  • Programming Erlang author Joe Armstrong
  • Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good! author @MononcQc - This is a great opportunity to express gratitude to @MononcQc - your book, topics, videos is amazing, many thanks for your hard work and for knowledge sharing!

I think these two books influenced me a lot and tightened me into Erlang world.

What about other online courses? (Maybe some of you have done @simonthompson’s courses?)

Yes, but after trying Erlang in production :upside_down_face:. The Functional Programming in Erlang - Online Course and Concurrent Programming in Erlang - Online Course.
