Review
Friedman and Eastlund's The Little Prover is a gentle introduction to the nuts and bolts of formal proofs about programs. Following on from The Little Schemer, it is an excellent guide for both thoughtful functional programmers wondering what it really means to know that a program is correct and do-it-yourselfers who want a taste of how proof assistants like ACL2 do their work. Bring your sense of humor and your thinking cap!
