Please start a new thread with a new subject. It definitely matters for the Learning series. The newer versions are much improved over previous ones. For the cookbook chances are it matters less, though you will want to pay attention to errata. And obviously the newer the version the more and probably better recipes it will contain. As far as buying two books, I would get both in the Learning series before picking up the cookbook. Some will definitely disagree about that last part, but I think it depends on how much you already know and what your plans are. The cookbook provides excellent *snippets*, but you can find snippets galore on the web, the 2nd in the learning series will help you build a much stronger foundation that should allow you to come up with more workable programs.
