Final Cut Express resource

I used this book when I was teaching myself Final Cut Express and it’s a great resource:

Weynand, Diana.  Final Cut Express HD, Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press, 2006.

If you want to learn Final Cut Pro, I would suggest first buying the (much cheaper) Final Cut Express program to learn the basics.  The difference between FCP and FCE is that the Pro version has more professional capabilities, but the basics are the same.
