Another lurker seconds that! The book is a good read even outside a
classroom setting. It's surprisingly comprehensive, but at a high enough
level to make it really easy to understand. Not only can you cover the parts
that are relevant to your course, but your students will have a valuable
resource which they can use afterward.

PS - No, I have no ties with O'Reilly; However, I still give this book a
glowing review.
