I started with this tutorial, nice and clear, at the end, I managed do to my first, pretty complexed patch for an end of year project.

Here's a site that I used pretty frequently, and I still go back on it everyonce in a while....

And of course don't forget the cheetomoskeeto's tutorials in youtube!
