That's two votes so far for the Teach yourself line of books. I will
most definitely be looking in to them again. I probably should not
have discounted them based solely on the title but I have read a few
(non-programming) books that claimed to teach alot in a short amount
of time but they usually seemed either rushed or oriented toward more
advanced students.
