To those of you who are trading ETH, but aren't as familiar with the underlying tech of Ethereum as you'd like...
Read this book.
I just finished it because I wanted to be sure my foundational knowledge of the tech and Solidity were up to snuff. It's a cross disciplinary explanation of the tech, economics, and use cases of Ethereum. It's not a dry tech-manual, and is a rather quick read.
Side note for the lulz:
If you come from bitcoin land, you'll recognize the author of this upcoming tome.
Only one I’m aware of is the pre-order for Andreas’ new book Mastering Ethereum - but that’s not out til early next year:
Mastering Ethereum: Building Smart Contracts and Dapps
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1491971940/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B5bJzbCPSARX2
According to Amazon.com, it's available for pre-order and will release on July 25, 2017. Of course this may or may not be accurate. Cheers!

Lol, I think Gavin Wood & Andreas kind of have that covered.
Awesome exposure, great for awareness about CL. And it's going to be on Amazon later this year! (already available for preorder: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527274613&sr=8-1&keywords=mastering+ethereum+antonopoulos). Somebody please make a Kindle version, please!
oh no mate, stay away from the source as much as possible. I'd say distance yourself from the "developer high-horse" as much as possible. Lol, I made up that term but hoepfully you get what I mean.
Just start with the basics, blockchains, POW/POS consensus algorithms and then move on to the nitty gritty. I actually found a really noob-friendly guide somewhere which made everything much clearer to me.
Also, check out these books. They are for ether/bitcoin but this will give you lots of vaulable info about developing for any crypto-currency. Also afaik Omise is also using Ethereum Blockchain for now.

infact view the entire series here.
But, the internet is also your best resource.
don't forget about the $2,500,000(12,500ETH) in burned ETH here too!
https://etherscan.io/address/0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead
etherscan has it listed as the ENS burn address but I read in Mastering Ethereum that it was the default burn address.

Not out yet but figured I'd let you know.

This sub is full of skeptics that don't have any foresight to think ahead. They are like people in the 90's looking at the web with all its crazy marquees and gifs on websites saying this is a waste of time because their encyclopedias do a better job. If you actually want to learn about it. Pick up a book and use the actual technology.

Some time this year.
Yes it is https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940
He wrote this book https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940
and often talks about how wonderful ETH smart contracts are which is absurd.
Introducing Solidity and Ethereum is alright. For now I would just look into the documentation of Solidity, Truffle, geth, Web3 etc. Mastering Ethereum looks super promising, as it's written by Gavin Wood (co-founder of Ethereum, made Solidity) as well as Andreas Antonopoulos (wrote Mastering Bitcoin). It's supposed to come out later this year.
The problem is that these tools change so fast that books might be outdated by the time you read or get them. It doesn't help that this is such a new field. Even the documentation sometimes isn't up to date.
There’s plenty of online resources that dives deep into each thing that guide suggests .. but given how quickly this space moves, things may quickly be outdated. There’s no one course or one place for this, unfortunately.
As for a textbook, would highly recommend Mastering Ethereum by Andreas Antonopulous and Gavin Woods:
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1491971940/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_d3j5CbVGJ12KY
I also listen to some podcasts like Unchained, zero knowledge, Crypto Basics etc - they are not really dev oriented but pretty good to keep a ear on the ground on what’s happening in the space while stuck in traffic.
To an extent but not really. He demonstrates some basic solidity programming, but his goal is to provide a thorough explanation of Ethereum, it's uses, and why it differs from other public chains that non-technical people can understand too.
If you want something more technical check this one out https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497024427&sr=8-4&keywords=Ethereum
Edit: I know it's not out yet, but it will be one of the better references out there.

This guy isn't half bad if you want one now.
This O'Reilly book won't by published until this summer, but I'll be looking out for it.
