    I got the book a couple of days ago and I have read the first eight chapters.

    I would definitely recommend it to get started with XText.

    Chapter 7 on testing is illuminating, and there are a few real gems like the “Digression on Xtext grammar rules” in Chapter 8 .

    Bravo Lorenzo and thanks for the great work!

      Jens, I was not sure what you meant when I first read the comment… but I guess it sounds like a compliment 🙂

    My compliments on the book. It was very useful in getting a better understanding of the possibilities of the xText framework. I first read it cover to cover and then applied it to some sample projects. Learned lots from it. Thanks again for writing it.

    If I may, I also have a question: Looking at the Xsemantics documentation, I have a hard time understanding the symbols like |- , ||- … Is there a standard/reference/theory that you could refer me to to explain their meaning?
