Learn how to design complex, correct programs and fix problems before writing a single line of code. This book is a practical, comprehensive resource on TLA+ programming with rich, complex examples. Practical TLA+ shows you how to use TLA+ to specify a complex system and test the design itself for bugs. 

You'll learn how even a short TLA+ spec can find critical bugs. Start by getting your feet wet with an example of TLA+ used in a bank transfer system, to see how it helps you design, test, and build a better application. Then, get some fundamentals of TLA+ operators, logic, functions, PlusCal, models, and concurrency. Along the way you will discover how to organize your blueprints and how to specify distributed systems and eventual consistency. 


Finally, you'll put what you learn into practice with some working case study applications, applying TLA+ to a wide variety of practical problems: from algorithm performance and data structures to business code and MapReduce. After reading and using this book, you'll have what you need to get started with TLA+ and how to use it in your mission-critical applications.  

What You'll Learn
  • Read and write TLA+ specifications
  • Check specs for broken invariants, race conditions, and liveness bugs
  • Design concurrency and distributed systems
  • Learn how TLA+ can help you with your day-to-day production work

Who This Book Is For

Those with programming experience who are new to design and to TLA+.  



Hillel Wayne is a senior software engineer in the Chicago area at eSpark Learning, focused on backend web development and Ruby and Rails to support classroom technology.  Additionally, he is a technical writer and trainer who advocates for TLA+ for sound design, testing, and engineering of critical applications.  He is the author of learntla.com, a resource for people getting started with TLA+, and is widely respected in the TLA+ community for his work.
