Very few resources are available that even come close to giving it the treatment it deserves. I've scoured the web and various obscure math publications for years and never found much. The Li and Vitanyi book is as close as I've found to a a good general mathematical primer on the subject, but it is a relatively expensive book. Personally speaking, the extent to which this area of mathematics appears to have been overlooked or ignored was surprising to me. As a result, it is hard to really get into unless you are willing to do some leg work. If I wasn't so lazy/busy over the years I could have easily written a good sized book on the topic without covering any ground that had already been covered in writing somewhere else. From my point of view it is worth the effort to learn though.
