Of course the web is teeming with sites providing courses, tutorials, references, graphics, and of course links to these. I will not even attempt to give an extensive list of these here, but I will give you a few pointers I think are useful if you want or need to find out something more. If you can't find what you're looking for here, try the popular web directories and search engines.
