Originally written by Bjarne Däcker and later revised by Robert Virding, the Erlang Handbook is a summary of the language features and the runtime system. It is aimed at people with some programming experience, serving as a quick introduction to the Erlang domain.

The current English release can be obtained here. Russian translation is here.

The handbook is typeset using LaTeX. If you want to build from source, the Makefile will be your friend. Run make or make english. You will need the minted package (and pygments) for the syntax highlighting magic to work.
