I've used John W. Gray's Mastering Mathematica with excellent result. The book treats Mathematica from three approaches: Mathematica as a calculator, Mathematica as a programming language (functional, rule-based, etc), and Mathematica as a knowledge representation. This book helped me use Mathematica with a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. I highly recommand it. In addition to Gray's book, Roman Maeder's Programming in Mathematica is also excellent. This book has many good examples which are included in the Mathematica package. Hope this helps.
