From the preface...

This book is a hands-on guide through the Java Formal Language and Automata Package (JFLAP), an interactive visualization and teaching tool for formal languages. This book is intended as a supplement to an undergraduate automata theory course or an undergraduate compiler course. This book is not a textbook! We assume the user is using a textbook along with our book. Our book guides users interactively through many of the concepts in an automata theory course or the early topics in a compiler course, including descriptions of algorithms JFLAP has implemented and sample problems for reinforcement of concepts. However, our book assumes that the user has read briefly about these concepts first in an automata theory textbook or compiler textbook.
