Hello,

Let me mention another book, I found very interesting:

"Specifying Systems" by Leslie Lamport
http://research.microsoft.com/users/lamport/tla/book.html

For some reason you can download it, but IMHO it is worth buying.

I had a lot of fun reading the "Getting Started", but then it gets very serious.

However, it is only practical the way that any good theory is practical.

Regards,
Wojtek
