Right here.  You've come to the right place.

First program to examine:
TSCP

If you don't have a postscript reader, get GhostScript and GSView, because most
of the really good stuff about chess programming is in postscript format.

Ernst Heinz has a nice book out on scalable search in computer chess, but it is
a bit much for a raw beginner.  I would recommend that you buy it, but wait
until you have learned the basics first.

The menu bar for CCC has a listing called "Computer Chess Resource Center"

Go there and look at whatever interests you.
