Looks interesting. I know a lot of beginners have had solid results with 5x5 as well:

There's a free iOS app for tracking progress too: http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-app/

Yeah, I'm actually doing the stronglifts 5x5 program. The Starting Strength book is still really useful for learning the lifts and getting all of the detail. With stronglifts you're going to get high in weight quick - so knowing form well is kind of important.
