Hi Juwonlo Ibigbami,
The best resource for portlet development (JSR-168) would be to go through the JSR-168 spec and JSR-168 API
doc. If you want to learn specific to a portal server, e.g. WebSphere Portal, you can go through the WebSphere Portal InfoCenter or for Liferay, I believe some documentation should be available on their website. Try googling all these terms and you'll get a lot of material.
