I started the Hanon exercises about a month and half ago (give or take a bit). I just went into a music store and saw it sitting there. I thought it would be good practice.

They start out not-so-complicated but get to some pretty interesting/challenging exercises. As for the history on Hanon and Chang, I don't know anything about that. I'd recommend Google ;)
