Do yourself a favor, read this book. Don't bother with any of his follow ups though, as nothing else he has written on the topic since has provided any information of value. In addition, it is best to read it in physical form, as the information and diagrams often times spans both pages and does not read well in PDF form. You will learn more of the art form, than you possibly could from years in any classes.
