jwgDawg, I second Steve's sentiment.

Start with checking out book's by Mike Holt, Tom Henry, James Stallcup, and many others.

Mike Holts books are available in the book store here.

If you can hire on as an apprentice with some one, it is a big help in using the information in the books. (see the actual applications hands on)

Many employers offer apprenticeship programs, we do, you can also check with your closest community college.

But always check in here, class is continuously in session. [Linked Image]
