Goal: smash http://www.erlang.se/doc/programming_rules.shtml and http://www.gar1t.com/blog/2012/06/10/solving-embarrassingly-obvious-problems-in-erlang/ together and see what happens. (Note that LFE has unveiled their own version: http://lfe.github.io/prog-rules/1.html)
Possible topics:
- Code style (indentation, short functions, avoid if/case, etc)
- Commenting style (including edoc)
- Data structures
- Common reasons to use ETS, DETS, Mnesia
- Communications patterns
- Processes for state management
- OTP patterns
- Other common Erlang patterns
- Bit syntax
- Patterns for leveraging NIFs, ports
Goal isn't to write yet another Erlang book, although something like the O'Reilly cookbooks may not a terrible idea.
