To add to gnomicarchitecture's suggestions, there's also Klenk's 'Understanding Symbolic Logic', it's a great book with lotsa exercises.
Frege's calculus / symbolic lexicon was most obscure... However, his essay 'On Sense and Reference' is a good read, pre-analytic / phil.of lang. stuff.
As far as the Tractatus (link to a very funky PDF) is concerned, I'd just go ahead and read it, really.
edit btw, regarding Klenk's book: there at least used to be used paperback versions of previous editions (at least on the British Amazon) that were dirt cheap; I've also seen ebook/pdf versions on ebook/torrent sites, I think I decided that I had to own a physical copy after skimming through my pirated version..
Ah, cool.
I used Understanding Symbolic Logic in my logic course. I was not a huge fan of it, but it is not a bad book. There were just a few things that Klenk does that even the professor said were 'meh' but weren't wrong. She said she was going to change textbooks but that was 3 years ago, and it's still the text they use.
It's got tons of books listed below that are also probably pretty good companions. But yeah, it really is just a ton of working the proofs and truth tables and everything.
