At the risk of self-promotion, you could buy MathLink: Network Programming with Mathematica Chikara Miyaji and Paul Abbott Cambridge University Press, 2001 ISBN: 0521645980 (Paperback/243 pages) Includes CD-ROM available at http://store.wolfram.com/view/book/ISBN0521645980.str. Here is the blurb: Programming tutorial giving a thorough explanation of MathLink, the mechanism enabling higher-level communication between Mathematica and external programs. Introduces basic concepts and explains the fundamentals of MathLink templates and its data transfer model. Also provides source code for a wide range of practical applications, giving the reader the opportunity to adapt the code to suit their own practical needs. Assumes prior knowledge of Mathematica and the C language.
