Hi There,

Erlang-RED has been my project for the last couple of months and I would love to get some feedback from the HN community.

The idea is to take advantage of Erlangs message passing and low overhead processes to have true concurrency in Node-RED flows. Plus also to bring low-code visual flow-based programming to Erlang.

Can someone recommend an Erlang course / book?

I keep running into learn you some erlang[1] which seems to be a good online resource. The author of which also wrote the "Erlang in Anger"[2] book.

Then there is the BEAM book[3] which provides an deep dive into Erlang and the BEAM virtual machine.

I'm not the best person to ask since I'm only starting out on Erlang! I much prefer to code visually :)

Thanks for the suggestions! I looked at "learn you some erlang" and I like the style and humor of it.
