README

This book intends to be a little guide about how to be the Erlang medic in a time of war. It is first and foremost a collection of tips and tricks to help understand where failures come from, and a dictionary of different code snippets and practices that helped developers debug production systems that were built in Erlang.

This is the source repository for the book.

• Update libraries links where appropriate
• Support alternative formats (HTML, epub, mobi)
• Document standalone build instructions that do not rely on MacTeX / TexShop
