I agree. Java for Dummies is a great book. It is the book I learned from. Just make sure to get the newest edition, because there's lots out there.

I'm curious, why do you think the command based robot is limited?

I recommend using the new command pattern, since it should reduce the complexity of the resulting robot code.
