It is the book got me to understand how to program by using Mathematica. But my work involved lots of interface programming and it took me a lot of try and error to understand how the button options, cell options and notebook options work. It also took me great effort to search on the internet to find how other people customized their notebooks. I also got lots of help from Mr. Hinton. That will be a great idea if there is a book talks about all these and more of the front end stuff. Hope to see such a book soon. X. Jing
