Do you really want books? Are you really a book kind of guy? I bought a bunch of books when I first wanted to learn how to program, but actually didn't read any of them. I didn't have the patience to read, I wanted to just DO.

I learned via the copy, paste, google and osmosis method, and it worked great for me. (:

So I guess my advice would be... before you spend your money on books, since time=money, the X hours you spend paying for the books might be better off "just doing it".

But, not relevant if you actually are a book guy.

/ book person. (: Sorry to assume you're a guy! (:
Haha Thanks! Don't worries, I'm a guy. I usually not a book person, but in this case...it just seems to be more helpful in the state that I'm in.
