	http://www.eecs.umich.edu/gasm/ has the materiel.  It's a good site,
although you'll want some mathematical sophistication and a bit of patience
to read through the tutorials.  They're not teaching people how to use the
ASMs; instead, they're proving how they work.

	There's also a LOT of good case studies, like a formal description
of C, Oberon, and Prolog, or a proof of several described weaknesses in a
security protocol, together with a proof of the suggested workaround.
