I'm trying to learn this language, IDL, but have found out that without having specific exercises to work on nothing sticks. I've been trying to find a good book to learn from but all i've found have been more akin to reference manuals and a short packet of tutorials half of which are so outdated they don't work anymore. Can some benevolent nerd recommend some good books that have problems to work out?

IDL the language used by astronomers to crunch data? Do you need it for a job?
NumPy is a much saner choice nowadays, or J if you're looking for an array-based language.

yeah, I'd prefer python but I'm working on data analysis and there's too much work in IDL to easily switch. Unfortunately I have next to no experience using pointers and structures so I want a better foundation for IDL before jumping into the deep end.

Sorry, can't really help you there. The closest thing I used was PDL (IDL-like DSL in Perl), but I quickly switched to NumPy because lack of documentation was slowing me down.
Usually the best source of fresh information for old legacy languages are mailing lists or newsgroups.
