8. Other Sources of Starting and Further Information

It has been said from the earlier chapters of this Manual that the notations used within, and in JTT, do not necessarily reflect actual formal notations used in everyday programming languages and computer-related business. This is because JTT attempts to teach the underlying principles first, and some things are kept simpler for the sake of teaching them.

This means that JTT necessarily loses some of its technical accuracy. However, it attempts to keep as close as possible to accepted customs and practices, relating in the greatest way possible to the �outside world� it attempts to emulate.

For those of you who want to immerse themselves more shallowly at first, before attempting JTT, and for those who want a more in-depth look after reading this Manual, the following recommendations are given. All sources are freely available on the Internet. Those marked with (B) (basic) are introductory principles, whilst (A) (advanced) are principles which build upon those introduced by JTT. Note that this list is not exhaustive and, at this early stage in the compilation of this Manual, incomplete.
