Besides the books (which tend to get outdated pretty quickly as items
change in core code) ... I find the free webinars that they give every
month to be pretty much in depth and up to date w/ the latest info.  The
archive is good as well ..
http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/on-demand-webinars/

Also the study guide for MySQL 5.0 certification is also a great
in-depth surprise for being a "study guide".

And subscribing to a few feeds @ http://www.planetmysql.org/ helps.

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] OT - Recommendatons for MySQL books?

High Performance MySQL is one of my favorite books.  I just got Pro
MySQL because I wanted to learn a bit more about the newer MySQL
features like stored procedures and views.  It seems very thorough...
though I haven't gotten very deep into it yet.  It does have a chapter
on security.
