Hello,

In addition to the recommendations for David's book (to which I add my own) , I
think that Ronn Kling's book, 'Application Development with IDL' should be
included. It's target audience is mid-level programmers. I found it helpful
when I got into the down-and-dirty of making object-based widget applications.

Each book represents money well spent.

Ben

P.S. Ronn's book makes use of the Reverse_indices from histogram. Everytime
JD or Craig post something using the histogram and reverse indices I dig out
Ronn's book.
