Well, I'm no guru (I started programming in assembly about a year ago) but
I'm going to chip in my two cents worth anyway.

Well, you have everything that you really need to start programming. That
is the book I started with, and I'm alread 1/1000th of the way to being
a proficient programmer. 

I would however, recommend getting the Source Code Sampler, Volume 1 from
APDA (Sorry,I don't have my APDALog with me right now, so I can't get you
the order number or the price. E-mail me if you want more info.) It has
thirteen programs, all demonstrating useful things. Whenever my program
isn't working, its a good bet that I can look in the Source Code Sampler
and they'll show me how to do it correctly. Hope I've been of some help.
