What frustrates me is that web resources on this topic seem to be so thoroughly lacking. I actually did, I'm sorry to admit, spend about 2 hrs looking for a good link on Google that covered the topic. The cited wikpedia entries are fine, in their way, but if you don't already know what they're talking about they won't help. There's a gazillion instances of "lecture notes" from this or that college course that mostly just duplicate the wikpedia entry. There's not much beyond that. There's an on-line doc from CMU, aimed at high-school students in a summer science program, that is a fantastic one-pager (even for "grown ups") -- but that is incomplete and non-rigorous. It's really disappointing that if someone asks "where can I learn the meaning of the chomsky hierarchy" the answer has to be "go to the library or buy a book."
