Erlang Programmation: A french Erlang book

Mickael Rémond has written a French book on Erlang (published by Eyrolles, a famous french technical publisher). The book explains the basis of the language but also explains advanced and practical topics: TCP/IP server programming, LDAP proxy development, video game server, use of the Erlang/OTP framework, ... Regarding OTP a step-by-step Helloworld application is presented that will help people getting started.

There are some good step-by-step example, with complete code: LDAP proxy, video game server (the development keeps on going: rei.vawis.net) and even a Wings 3D chapter.

The book also provide help for writing web based applications using Yaws or Inets.

The foreword has been written by Joe Armstrong.
