This is off-topic. I'm hoping someone on this list can point me towards more general information on finite state machines, their definition, how to build them, determining when to apply them, etc. I read Zed's blog entry from way back when covering Ragel [1] but he hasn't followed it up and there aren't many pointers to external information.
I've googled around and found a reasonable amount of information on Ragel, but I'm not so interested in knowing how to use that particular tool as I am in learning about finite state machines *in general*. Thanks to anyone who has good pointers on docs, tutorials or good source code examples (any language). I'd also appreciate any suggestions on books (college texts or whatever) that cover this subject. cr _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
