I'm not a programmer myself, so I can't offer very much practical help 
but I've generated a list of prgramming music and sound titles from my 
store's web site.  If any of these look promising and you need more info, 
I'll try to provide it.  If you think one of the books might actually 
help, we can check stock and availability.  The store does offer free 
shipping.

I really hope this helps.
