I'm eager to get started, but I have many questions first. Most deal with parts of the manual that didn't have specific details. <snip>

Be brave! Just install [it] and play with it. Half of your questions will answer them self.

Are the handbooks considered the definitive documentation? I'm finding that they leave out many details. Can these details be found somewhere that I'm not looking? For example: <snip>... Looking on Amazon, the only book with decent reviews is Pro [Subject] Development, which I just purchased. It talks about the "guts" of [Subject] and how to extend them... What bridges the gap between the Handbooks and books such as this?

<snip>...you should read the code, and the code documentation... again, reading the actual code, and the comments ([Subject] code is commented nicely) in the code.

(later...)

I don't believe there are any gaps between the information found in the handbooks and the Pro [Subject] Development book.
