I can't wait until May[0] for the new 'Programming Phoenix' book. I found the first edition to be a great learning experience.

Thanks for the tip - just bought a Kindle copy. I was going to get the hardcopy, but Yikes, WHAT has happened to the cost of freight recently?!? It was going to cost minimum $45 to ship a $35 book to Australia!!

Programming Phoenix is one of the few programming books I've read cover to cover. Not only does it cover the nuts and bolts of how to do things it also goes into why things are as they are because it was written by the same team responsible for Phoenix itself.
