Explanation of sparse coding

I'm studying the classification based on sparse coding and dictionary learning. I've read many documents but couldn't find an easy-to-understand one. As I understand, it's based on an optimization problem: enter image description here

What's the meaning of the subscript (2)? And I guess the sign ||a|| means the amplitude of the vector? And could you please suggest a good tutorial/introduction document for sparse coding? Thank you. (I tagged "image processing" and "machine learning" because I read somewhere that these fields use sparse coding. If not true, please comment and I'll remove the tags).

The subscript 2 means it's a l2 or Euclidean norm. See here for detailed explaination.

This is an high-level overview of sparse coding,
