It was asked: what's a good beginner's resource for learning Final Cut Express? Though it's an Express version, there's a lot more there than Editing Techniques with Final Cut Pro by Michael Wohl is an excellent introduction to both Final Cut Pro and Editing Aesthetics.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: two mac-ish questions
I'm not a mac user, but I got a used copy of this book based on David's recommendation. The editing aesthetics chapters were very very very valuable. The first couple chapters have nothing to do with what buttons to push, but editor's job, film language, editing patterns, and preparing to edit. This was just the type of guidance I've been trying to find and now comes the fun of applying the principles ...
