Hi Steve,

The references on the bottom are sparse, but solid; Structure and 
Interpretation of Computer Programs can't be recommended enough.

I would add to that list another textbook:

     How to Design Programs
     http://htdp.org

It goes slower than Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, but 
is also a very good text.  I have to admit I felt sorta sleepy on the 
first few sections, but starting around Section 9 things picked up quite a 
bit and I woke up.


Best of wishes!
