Look at the selection of Mac OSX books from O'Reilly and associates: http://mac.oreilly.com/ "Mac OS X Panther in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition" is a fine general reference, and I'd endorse getting it, but not reading it first. It's the place to go to look up shell commands, vi and emacs editor keymappings, shell scripting syntax, etc. Look at the tables of contents of their other books to see what subjects and treatment suits your background for a tutorial.
