The Dance Music Manual: Tools, Toys and Techniques by Rick Snoman is required reading for anyone getting started with electronic music. This book covers MIDI, basic music theory, synthesis, hardware and software, composition, effects, programming, recording, mixing, genre analysis, and everything else that a beginner needs to know. The book doesn't waste time with nonsense filler like genre histories or boastful artist references, it's just a very straightforward textbook. It's also full of useful tips like mastering one synthesizer before purchasing another, mixing as part of the entire song creation process, evaluating a synthesizer's quality before you buy, practical compression, and lots of other useful guidelines. Seriously, you should stop reading this post and go buy the book RIGHT NOW.

Another music site: http://www.novamusik.com/ Nova Musik sells only electronic music products, and usually has cheaper prices than zzSounds and Musician's Friend. Slightly related topic: What do you guys think of Battery 3? I need a large library of drum samples.
