Great book!

Do you plan to translate it to English?

Best regards,
Max

Woohoo! Well done. The space in that book shelf is now decreasing by the day. What next? Portuguese? Afrikaans? Italian? Esperanto? Erlang for Dummies?

Looking forward to reading it.

Out of curiosity, did you name your variables and functions in English or Spanish? We had a very heated discussion about this a month or so back. I forget what the final resolution was, though.

Cheers,

Some of the first snippets:

area(Base, Altura) -> Base * Altura.

[ martillea_clavo(X) || X <- Clavos, clavar(i) =:= 'si' ].

And so on.

There was no final resolution though, some people still didn't believe
other languages than English existed, and I'm sure they'll complain that
this book has code in Spanish and totally miss the point.

Grats on the book, I'll forward it to someone. :)

In spanish we have some symbols to emphatize the words... but are
unneded to express in the code. By example:

España ... can be writed as: espana, espagna, espanya, espania... no
problem.

I think the requirement to write code isn't the language. The
requirement is ASCII, don't use nothing out of this table.

In my book I use spanish vars because are a good point to identify what
you can customize and what you should keep as is.

Regards.

The code is writed for humans... if you write code only for machines
you should use assembler... or perl :D

The vars should be understanded by the programmers, and they should be
related to domain.

There is also no problem with using "España" as a variable or ãno as an atom
without quotes.

Erlang currently uses Latin-1; there is no requirement to live within the
US 1960's character set.
