There is also the Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++

Of course it depends what you are doing, but both of these books seem to 
gloss over EVP. From the little I know of OpenSSL you are best off 
starting with the EVP interface as it is the highest level API into 
OpenSSL. Try understanding the code in the example on the EVP_DigestInit 
man page and work from there

http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/EVP_DigestInit.html#

I would be really keen to hear what more experienced OpenSSL developers 
think?

BTW, can anyone explain why EVP is listed under INPUT/OUTPUT, DATA 
ENCODING on the crypto man page?
