After looking through newsgroup posts I got "Power Programming with Mathematica" by David Wagner, and I've found it to be excellent (by no means too basic). It is more concerned with learning the various techniques of programming available in mathematica, and goes in-depth into some things that would otherwise remain mysterious (for example, held expressions, rule-based programming). It uses examples, but is not really applications oriented.
