Ronn Kling also has a book on calling C from IDL:


Author: Ronn Kling
Title: Calling C from IDL - Using DLM's to extend your IDL code
Summary: (from www.kilvarock.com)

This 74 page book is written for anyone that wants to be able to call C
programs from IDL. Using very simple examples written in C the reader will
be able to create and pass scalars, arrays, strings and structures back and
forth from IDL to C. The code is written for IDL version 5.3 and later but
can be made to run on earlier versions with only minor modifications.
Nearly 1000 lines of source code are provided on the accompanying disk with
a makefile for all UNIX platforms, com file for VMS, Visual C++ 6.0 project
for windows, and a Code Warrior 5 project for the Macintosh. This code can
either be received on a 3-1/2 inch floppy or CD

ISBN: 0967127025

In addition to David Fanning's book (see his post for details) there's Liam's:

Author: Liam E. Gumley
Title: Practical IDL Programming
Summary: (From the amazon.com book description)
In Practical IDL Programming, Liam E. Gumley provides a solid foundation
in the fundamentals of procedural programming in IDL. He presents concise
information on how to develop IDL programmers that are well structured,
reliable, and efficient. The example programs in the book demonstrate key
concepts and provide functionality that can be applied immediately. In
addition, the book offers readers practical tips and advice on IDL programming,
which they would otherwise discover only after years of experience.
ISBN/ISSN: 1558607005

And there's also Ronn Kling's book:

Author: Ronn L. Kling
Title: Application Devleopment with IDL
Summary: (From the amazon.com book description)
This book is written for scientists, engineers and programmers who want to
combine their analytical techniques with widget interfaces. In the past we
were restricted to writing procedural programs that read namelists, files,
or had data entered in from a prompt. This book shows how to integrate widget
interfaces with analysis code resulting in an application that will increase
your productivity and quality of your results. By using a widget interface,
input values can be changed and results displayed in real time without
having to endlessly execute the same procedures over and over again.
