I think one of the current best "real world" resources is the 
"collective docs": http://collective-docs.plone.org/

It aims to cover almost ever single use case a developer may encounter 
in an extremely practical way (i.e. here's the use case, here's how you 
can solve it.)


Best of all if you are a developer, when you encounter something not 
covered you can add it yourself[1].
