When I need to learn a new *software* technology, I go to a local Barnes =
&=20
Nobles, Borders, or equiv, grab a  cup and coffee and skim a dozen or mor=
e=20
books on the subject.  Then I buy the one that suits my style and needs b=
est.

I find books are better for an introduction since they better explain the=
=20
process of setting up the initial environment and the tools/components=20
required to get started.  Then, beyond the introductory level, I prefer=20
websites with code and discussion lists.

If I need to know it thoroughly, I get an O'Reilley book on the subject=20
because they're excellent references and explain the nit-picky details qu=
ite=20
well.

Cheers,
-Neil.
