Title: Quite simply the best resource for any IDL programmer
Product review: David has an excellent style of writing. It is clear and simple to understand and yet he manages to demonstrate throughout the book, the sheer power of IDL. This book was invaluable to me when I was learning IDL, and even now when I am much more experienced, I still use it. The book shows you how you should write code to get the most out of IDL. It deals with widget interface programming, and demonstrates many grahical display tips. It even shows you how you can produce excellent-quality postscript output, which will save you hours of frustration. The book is packed with well written examples which makes the boook come to life.If you're new to IDL, then you MUST get this book. Even if you're a seasoned veteran of IDL, there's probably still a lot that you could learn from the book.
