I will also mention that there are now a few books on Puppet. I'm currently reading through Pro Puppet by James Turnbull (who wrote the original Pulling Strings with Puppet book), and it's quite good. The original book was a bit light on some details, Pro Puppet really dives in and shows how all the pieces fit together.
