www.rttycontesting.com covers the basics as well as more advanced topics.
It is based on WriteLog and MMTTY, but all the basic knowledge is included.
There is a link to Don's "Getting Started in RTTY" tutorial, which is where
I recommend you go.  You can ignore the material on MMTTY if you want to
start out using the encoder/decoder in the K3.

The ARRL publishes a great book that gives an overview of all the digital
modes.
