Just got my first Mindstorms kit RIS 2.0, birthday prezzy (35 years young)
from the Mrs.

I have always been a Technic fan and I have an extensive collection thanks
to Ebay.

I have a few questions:

Can anyone recommend any books to give me more insight, I live in the UK?

From what I can gather I believe it is possible to write control programs
using other methods than that supplied on the Mindstorms CD, can anyone
point me in the right directions for a complete beginner?

Many thanks and I am sure I will have other questions as time goes by if not
models to show off and ideas/tips to share.

Dave Baum's Definitive Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS
(Apress, ISBN 1-59059-063-5)
is a very nice book to get you started with RCX Code and NQC. If you
want to go further, I recommend
EXTREME MINDSTORMS by Baum, Gasperi, Hempel and Villa
(Apress, ISBN 1-893115-84-4)
Both are available at amazon and really good!
