A FutureLearn course introducing functional programming using the Erlang language, taught in part by Joe Armstrong, one of Erlang's creators. It focuses on practical functional idioms in Erlang.
Commenters describe it as a very good, practical way to learn Erlang, including one who learned it directly from Joe Armstrong through the course.

This looks like a nice intro (although I didn't read it in detail), however I wanted to mention the way I learned Erlang, from (the late) Joe Armstrong via the Erlang course at FutureLearn. It was a very good course and quite practical. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-e... (I am not affiliated with them, I just liked their course)
I'm currently learning erlang/elixir and I'm really enjoying the language constructs.
I had originally taken a Programming Language Paradigms class in college with racket, and I really didn't appreciate functional ideas(i.e. syntax is my excuse). I'm now a really big fan of functional language idioms.
Anyone interested should try the futurelearn class, https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-e....
