I am trying to learn Erlang. The idea is to write a CRUD app which is a multi-user PWA app completely without framework. For front end, HTML, CSS and JS with reefjs for reactivity (these are are things I already know).

The idea is to experiment and stress test with the idea of write once run forever to the max. See how far can I get. Any resource for Erlang will be much appreciated.

Currently using exercism and Joe's book of Programming for the concurrent world 2nd edition. I guess beginner topics are covered. More interested in advanced erlang topics for which resources seems hard to come by. Specifically related to security since I would want to know how to go about the security of the backend using erlang.



You might want to look into Nitrogen. It also has facilities, that allow you to not write JS.


Why not use something like cowboy?


I do intend to use cowboy. I guess I should have been more clear. There are definitely parts which I don't want to reinvent for obvious reasons.

But yeah. Product logic and security without using frameworks like Chicagoboos, Nova framework or Nitrogen is what I meant when I said no framework. Replacing any possible crypto parts or critical libraries like cowboy is not the intend.


yeah. you can get pretty far with it. i remember doing a similar experiment where I used just cowboy and plug without a framework (ie pheonix) when playing with elixir.
