Build It with Nitrogen: The Fast-Off-the-Block Erlang Web Framework (self-published)

Web development has never been more challenging. The Internet is intensely competitive and treacherous. Site malfunction and downtime are unacceptable. Clients demand ever more features with ever tighter deadlines. Popular sites must scale to handle unpredictable traffic spikes.

Build It with Nitrogen: the Fast Off the Block Erlang Web Framework addresses these issues and more. It assumes minimal Linux or JavaScript skills. The easy to-read book guides the reader through seven hands-on projects. Each project builds on the last toward high-level competency. Readers learn Erlang as they go. “Nitrogen simplifies development of web applications, making simple things easy and difficult things manageable,” says Zotonic CMS creator Marc Worrell.

“This book is ambitious,” says Nitrogen creator Rusty Klophaus, “It covers not only Nitrogen and Erlang, but also a bit of OTP, databases, git, web design, and software engineering best practices. And somehow, it does this well by building up from simple concepts in a sort of ‘Socratic dialogue’—if Socrates had a ‘California surfer’ sense of humor.”
