I must say, I learned Pd also from books not about Pd at all, like
Dodge/Jerse's "Computer Music" etc. 

Pd itself, like Max, is dead simple to use, but like many instruments
difficult to master. But the basics of Pd can be learned in a couple
of evenings. Everony can quickly learn what [osc~] is and connect it
to [dac~]. The problem then is: What more to do with it? And for that
you need to work on your theoretical background for example using
books like mentioned.
