I was going to post a link to this book, but to my delightment someone beat me to it...

This book is highly recommended if you want to know more about encryption, but are afraid of the mathemathical concepts. It starts of super easy with a simple caesar shift (the kind of secret code children use) and builds from there. I'm a total math noob but thanks to this book I wrote a simple public-key encryption service. The book contains tons of examples and even challenges, if you're up to it.

If you haven't read this book, go on and do so!
