> I am looking for a good book or two on data encryption, codes etc...

"The Codebreakers" by David S. Kahn was a best-seller some years ago.
I have recently seen the original, unabridged hardcover edition in
bookstores.  This is probably the best way for a beginner to get an
idea of what cryptography is about; the unabridged edition explains
several cryptanalytic techniques.
