 Then as good kickstart to TLA+, start with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tw3gsBms-f8|Leslie Lamport — The Paxos algorithm or how to win a Turing Award. Part 1]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Bc5Lqgx_c|Part 2]]. It is a good introduction on TLA+ and uses Paxos and Consensus as an example.
-After that, you can start digging into Lamport’s video course available on the [[https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/video/videos.html|website]]. If you prefer a written medium, [[https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/book.html|Specyfing systems]]: by Leslie Lamport is still the reference book for TLA+ and its tools. It’s well written and easy to follow.

-After learning some TLA+, it might be helpful to start learning some Pluscal. Checkout the [[./pluscal.md|pluscal]] page for more info and some resources.

-Don’t just learn the theory, start by solving some small exercises.

-  * [[https://members.loria.fr/SMerz/papers/tla+logic2008.pdf|The Specification Language TLA+]]: Another good manuscript by Stephan Merz explaining TLA+ specification language: Sect. 2 introduces TLA+ by way of a first specification of the resource allocator and illustrates the use of the tlc model checker. The logic TLA is formally defined in Sect. 3, followed by an overview of TLA+ proof rules for system verification in Sect. 4. Section 5 describes the version of set theory that underlies TLA+, including some of the constructions most frequently used for specifying data. The resource allocator example is taken up again in Sect. 6, where an improved high-level specification is given and a step towards a distributed refinement is made. The fnal Sect. 7 contains some concluding remarks.

+===== Learn by Doing ====
+Markus Kuppe does TLA+ trainings using the two following repositories:
+  * https://github.com/lemmy/BlockingQueue
+  * https://github.com/tlaplus-workshops/ewd998/  Distributed termination detection on a ring.
+The way to use them is to basically check the git history from the beginning and follow along.
