Introduction to Erlang (for .NET developers) 

So would you like to build concurrent, distributed, fault tolerant, cross-platform, web-scale systems with less code and look cool doing it? If so, the opensource programming language Erlang has some real sweet spots for you. If you're unfamiliar with Erlang you may be surprised to learn how battle tested it is: Facebook's chat backend, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, GitHub's backend and Amazon's SimpleDB are all written in Erlang, and every phone call you make is likely helped along by some Erlang somewhere. So how does a functional programming language with Prolog and telecom roots solve so many of the big problems that Enterprisey languages famously stink at? How do I (as a C# developer) even get started with Erlang? Is it scary? How do I integrate Erlang with my .NET code? Will learning Erlang make me a better .NET developer?
