The manual that the gears comes with is a good starting point. You can download them from the Campagnolo website, but unsure if this is the case with SHimano/SRAM/others.

Possibly all you will ever need is here, I bought the DVD, believe me sitting with the bike on a workstand with the dvd on a portable DVD player has been invaluable as far as learning goes.
