I've never found a *really* good book. Different books cover different
topics better (or more poorly) than others. Much of my knowledge has come
 from burned fingers and stubbed toes <grin>.

Perhaps others reading this message may have something they can recommend.

P2003 Pro (and P2002, I believe -- I don't have it installed) has a nice
Project guide which appears on the left side of the Project window. (I
don't know if this is part of Standard.) If it isn't being displayed, you
can turn it on by Tools | Options | Interface-tab and click on Display
Project Guide. It displays a panel and a Project Guide toolbar. You can
turn the toolbar off (but I wouldn't do that until you are comfortable
with the interface).

Basically, under the Tasks panel, it walks you through (using a
Wizard-like interface) project and task set up. Switching to the
Resources display lets you do the same thing for resources. That's the
easy part and the panel makes certain that you don't miss something.

The hard part follows. Now you have a schedule -- but it almost certainly
isn't the schedule you want. You will have to go through several
iterative stages moving resources, rescheduling tasks, checking for
overallocations and adjusting before you get something you are happy
with. In fact, you'll do that last sentence on numerous occasions
throughout the lifecycle of the project.
