OSM consists of various things: mapping, rendering, serving tiles, geocoding, routing, extracting/processing/displaying certain data. Is there any specific area you are interested in?

There are a couple of printed books available on openstreetmap one by Frederik Ramm/Jochen Topf and another by Johanthon Bennet. Your local library may have one or google them. I also found that Steve Coast ( he dreamt up OSM ) may do one. and there is a pdf as well. I guess the wiki as the most up to date info but the books may be easier to read. see these links https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/237731198/the-book-of-openstreetmap http://en.flossmanuals.net/_booki/openstreetmap/openstreetmap.pdf https://povesham.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/review-of-openstreetmap-books/
