There are a lot of answers that are using a somehow cryptic syntax that I am not familiar with. Is there any Not So Short Introduction to TeX (like Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX) ?!

4There actually is a Not so short introduction to LaTeX... – Werner Oct 14 '13 at 5:20

14There's also the book TeX by Topic by Victor Eijkhout, if you're really keen on getting to know the ins and outs of TeX as a programming language. Victor Eijkhout has also written the book The Computer Science of TeX and LaTeX, available online as well, for still more in-depth analysis of TeX and LaTeX from computer science perspective. – Mico Oct 14 '13 at 5:31

2At least related: Where do I start LaTeX programming? – cgnieder Oct 14 '13 at 6:41

My book "TeX by Topic", which is strictly about TeX, not LaTeX, is available
- as a free download, including sources
- from lulu.com, nicely printed
Definitive reference for the locations of all this:

WORK IN PROGRESS: texprogramming-persian is the ultimate reference for anyone interested in TeX programming, written in Persian. I have finished writing it on paper and I just have to typeset it which may take between 2--3 months considering my limited time resources. It is licensed under GPL version 3 and I have used several references for it including TeX by Topic and TeXBook.
