Amzoti: I would put in an enthusiastic plug for Paul Wellin's new book: Programming with Mathematica: An Introduction. Cambridge University Press (2013). ISBN 978-1-107-00946-2. Uses version 8. And lots of gratis supporting material at: http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/computer-science/scientific-computing-scientific-software/programming-mathematica-introduction Under "Resources". (BTW, ISBNs work well for web searching, and in Amazon books.) The Amazon review ratings are currently {6,3,1,0,0}, 5* down to 1*. (None are mine!) Cheers Barrie PS I'm recommending this to my University's library.

However, I am after a general programming book in Mathematica. Does such a book exist? Can anyone recommend which they liked more than others and why? Thanks for any inputs. -A
