I just finished a class with Luis Escobar, probably one of the top three survival and reliability experts. You want his book, it's super clear and focuses heavily on censoring.

We used JMP (by SAS) software to follow along the book. The JMP team actually developed the reliability and survival analysis machinery by following my profs book. Once you install JMP there's 'sample data' under the 'help' pull down menu and you'll see a bunch of actual data from the Meeker and Escobar book.
JMP actually saves the steps taken for these sample data, which include censored obs. analysis, in script files, and you can run these script files.
Dealing with left censoring and right censoring is pretty easy with JMP using a likelihood estimation (or some specified loss function). JMP also has the ability to model multiple failure modes.
