There is the developers handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/). The architecture handbook can be quite good for an overview of how things work (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html). There is also a bunch of info at http://docs.freebsd.org. Some of the man pages can give you good tutorials as well. Other than that, I'm not too sure. I am also interested any additional information sources.
