Any effect tutorials

Can anyone recommend some good material on introduction to building effects and what you can do with them? I'm currently using BasicEffect to manage a simple camera but I'd like to know what's going on and why I have to do it this way.

I'm also just starting to learn effect and I'm looking for the same kind of info. There are a few examples in the XNA Docs. Look at them.

Also, there is this PDF I'm currently reading (It's the first chapter from the book ShaderX2 I think):

I also found some useful tutorials here http://www.pieterg.com/Tutorials.php

I've been scouring google for days, and found a few promising beginner level ones. I've yet to really study them in earnest.

If you search my blog you'll find several blog posts with the links. A search for "HLSL" should do it, or click the XNA category (I haven't categorised the HLSL specific ones properly yet).

Here's the link:
