"I previously had good working knowledge of TLA+ and had applied it some projects at work involving concurrency. This book served as an excellent introduction to PlusCal, which is a variant of TLA+ that addresses shortcomings with how the language handles communicating sequential processes. After working through this book, I am now proficient in PlusCal and am using it in a work project at this very moment! The author has a very approachable style, and I think this applications-focused book is well worth software engineers' time."

Practical TLA+ Planning Driven Development Hillel Wayne 9781484238288 Books Reviews
- The author does a great job creating small examples of specifications that seem completely plausible but that have bugs immediately detectable by the TLC model checker.
Do note that the title is a misnomer. The book focuses on PlusCal rather than core TLAâº. (Pluscal is a programmer friendly language that compiles into TLAâº). If you want to know more about TLA⺠after reading this book, it is worthwhile to view the training videos on the TLA⺠homepage.
If you do purchase this book, check-out the errata on the authors github page (the errors are mostly minor). It is also informative to look at Leslie Lamport's commentary on the book https//lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/practical-tla.html .
The author, Hillel Wayne, has an excellent style and is an experienced instructor. I hope that he writes a follow-on book that delves deeper into TLAâº, explores more advanced examples, and demonstrates the TLAPS proof assistant. - TLA+ has a well deserved reputation for difficult. This is the first book I know of that takes TLA+ and shows actual real world examples of its use in model and spec checking. If you have tried Lamport's book and gave up in frustration, start with this one. Many reasonable real world examples, worked out fully and completely.
