I would love a project based book that tries to teach me the core principles and gives me some guidance and experience in building with a specific technology.

There are som fine guides online, but they usually don't have the scope or "budget" of a book. That being said, I loathe those massive 1500 page tomes that brand themselves as an "introduction" to the subject (I mean that first book in the linked article, "Introduction to Algorithms", 1300 pages), it really demotivates me when thinking about having to delve into those to learn the basics.

It would be nice with books in the 200-300 page range, and maybe doing project based books to teach the ropes and pitfalls of a technology would solve that. Then there's the possibility to make follow-ups with more intermediary topics or projects.
