Help me out?

I guess I'm more Noob than I thought. Since rooting was so easy, I didn't expect everything after that to be so complicated. I'm fairly advanced with PCs on the user level, but I rarely fool with system code. That's where all the really interesting stuff happens with these phones, but I'm lost in all the terminology, acronyms and utility references. I know, the tech-heads are having a good laugh by now and the jackals are sharpening their teeth.

But seriously, its pretty damn frustrating because even the instructions and tutorials that I've found are written for advanced operators. I want to learn SDK, ADB, all the terminology and so on, but I don't know were to find noob-friendly learning resources.

Can anyone offer some recommendations?
