I have recently purchased this book and it hasn't left my side for several days. I highly recommend it.

I've also found that site and loved it!  The Smart Sweepers example was really informative for me.  As a little way to give thanks I converted it into Java since he didn't already have one.  It's not available on the site yet, but here it is if you want to use it
