Best book on Alice functionality?

[icemacsea]

I'm ready to buy a book on Alice and I'm hoping to get some opinions on the subject. I'm an experienced programmer, so I'm not looking for a book that explains loops, assignments, lists, recursion, data types, etc. I understand Alice is aimed at beginners so there is probably some of this general programming info in all of them. But I just want the book that covers the Alice functionality in the most depth; all the different built-in object properties, methods, functions, etc.

Any opinions?

Thanks for the tip on that one. It does, however, appear to be a book that uses Alice as a jumping off point for learning programming and then Java. Do you own this book? Or have you read it?

Anybody else have one of the Alice books out there?

I have that book above that dougeetx posted. My teacher gave to us as a textbook.
