Any books/websites/docs/whatever is greatly appreciated. I've started reading the official documentation but it's not very friendly. I want something that starts from the basics, through to the syntax through to deployment. I'm sure one resource will cover all this so anything you may have is welcome.
Thanks!
No question. Written by the author of the language.
It has lots of great practical examples and walks you through everything from start to finish.
http://www.trapexit.org also has some really nice tutorials and discussion.
What projects have you fellow hackers used/are using Erlang for? Are you glad you did?

I especially tend to spend a lot of time on the pages at http://www.erlang.org/doc/man
After seeing it referenced a lot on HN, I've also been really interested in learning Erlang. What projects have you fellow hackers used/are using Erlang for? Are you glad you did?
The public documentation for the language is awful.

I wrote a message queue server that uses the memcached protocol (so I could use memcache client libraries to connect to it), similar to Starling/Sparrow. Starling and Sparrow kept falling over from the volume of connections, so I decided to write my own in Erlang. We've been using it in production for about 6 months now, and it works great.
