I've also used this book and it helped a lot at the beginning:

the nice thing about the viruscontrol is I program it in the order it's layed out. I do the osc on the osc page, then the filters, then the LFOs/mods, then effects... work that way and ask lots of questions on these boards... everyone loves to help.
