Does anybody have any information on courses, books etc to get started in this field?

https://www.elearnsecurity.com/ - I plan in starting here with the PTP course.

Offensive Security Training and Professional Services - seems to be the most respected but looks like a difficult place to start out.

CEH: Certified Ethical Hacking course from EC-Council - starting to show up on message job boards, but eccouncil doesn't have the best reputation.

I HIGHLY suggest starting with this thread here Security certification - where to start?
