I think the language itself is surprisingly easy to learn. I recommend http://www.erlang.org/download/getting_started-5.4.pdf

Let me suggest that Erlang is not necessarily typical of "functional programming in general". If you want a good balance, I'd combine reading some of the Erlang-specific sources already cited (or Joe Armstrong's book, Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World) with some of the tutorial links from the Haskell web site.

why? could you please try to describe what makes it atypical? I'd be very interested in that. – akavel Mar 29 '11 at 13:12
