I think anyone that has worked with Magento will agree that it is a steep learning curve, this is not helped by the lack of documentation. I have put together a list of useful links when that I found helpful whilst trying to get my head around Magento themes:

(I have expanded upon these lists which I found useful)

Php|architect’s Guide to E-Commerce Programming with Magento
Designer’s Guide to Magento – The most solid of Magento’s documentation, though it might take a few reads before things become clear! (pdf version)
The Magento API
Magento Screencasts
Designing for Magento Webinar – worth watching the wmv file as much better quality
Magento Wiki – out dated but some handy concepts
Ohminu forum post – the lead designer breaks things down for newbies
Magento Folder Structure
Changing Text – using the Locale File
Builing Blocks – more handy hints from the lead designer
Screencast on creating themes – a very brief introduction to creating a new theme
Video’s and other resources from php | architect
