Read this and do at least the non-starred exercises, you should be on your way. The prose is a bit dense at times and even a doctorate holder like myself has to read some pages a couple of times. The exercises are superfun. One drawback is that the solution guide is available only to professors using this for a class, so practitioners have to kind of wonder if there are better solutions than what they came up with.
