I had some previous exposure to Group Theory, but then my thesis (in Computer Science) actually needed Group Theory, so I was forced to dig deeper and get some real understanding. This book was more than adequate, and the price was just unbeatable. If you actually need explicit algorithmic details (for implementation), check out "Fundamental Algorithms for Permutation Groups" from Greg Butler as well.
