Need to learn G code

[Art Ransom]

I have light background in VB and C . I am building a 4 axis mill to do wood columns up to 20" by 11' and most of the work can be done with Wizzards in Mach3. I am looking for materials to learn G code and haven't found anything on the web. Can anyone make some cuggestions? None of the local colleges teach G code. I am near Dallas,TX.

A while back I stumbled on a site with instructions on many cnc topics including G and M code programming for 3 axis machining centers. It's free and you can pick a topic and dive right in. The site is http://technology.calumet.purdue.edu/met/mfet/275/

I just picked up the CNC Programming Handbook by Peter Smid. It looked like a good reference. Any thoughts on this book?
