I think this is a great book for beginners. They give you some easy plans to follow step-by-step (so you don't screw-up) so hopefully by the end of the book you can really do some damage by yourself. Bonus: They give you all the source codes and pictures so you don't have to start from scratch.The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the techniques are really useless like creating a calculator!
