Can any Magento experts point me out to some good resources to Magento Module Development . I already tried to Magento Doc not very helpfull especially from development point of view.
Like Magento offer a lot of Built in Features to get different information.
<?php $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->getCurrentCategory();?>
<?php $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();?>
Specially more of these kinds ......
Any place where I can find list of all these or atleast most frequently used once to speed up the learning and understanding process.
Any help appreciated.
It does take hard work and you have to start somewhere. This is the best place to start:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-for-dev-part-1-introduction-to-magento
Go through parts 1-8.
Then this is really good: http://info.magento.com/rs/magentocommerce/images/Magento-Extension-Developers-Guide-v1.0.pdf
Then start going thru tutorials that you can find on the internet. It takes quite a bit of work, but it is learnable.
This has been a great for a couple of my employees in helping understanding the folder structure and naming conventions. I am a hands on learner myself, I wish this was around when I started years ago.
Check this out. Its a module creator. Create it using names you can follow and you can follow the path and structure quite easily.

I am totally new to Magento. Still learning, so I am confused about where to start off when I have to do something new.
I have to add just another input field in the checkout that gets saved in the order and displayed in the back-end.
So can someone give me directions? It can probably be implemented in an existing extension, but I don’t really have a clue. Any help and explanation will be greatly appreciated.
It would seem a popular solution is to utilize the order "agreements" for comments.
My answer here has lots of tips
And this blog specifically talks about installing a free extension and his explanation of the process is simple and thorough.
I am trying to create a report in Magento. I followed the tutorial from Alan Storm on getting things started in the admin panel http://alanstorm.com/magento_admin_controllers and I now have a grasp of how to get the controllers working in the admin panel.
I would like to take this to the next step and create reports. The reports that I am creating I think I just want them to work like the grid widgets that are used throughout the entire Magento admin panel.
However, I am hard pressed to find a good tutorial on how to create these. If someone could explain how these work or point me towards a tutorial that worked for them, I would be very grateful.
* UPDATE *
An SQL based approach, to consider:

Personally I've tried implementing Reports the "Magento" way and found its much easier and simpler to just use the Grid instead. However here are some of the bookmarks I have in regards to building out reports.

Hope these help, I have to admit the way the way you build reports in Magento is very screwy, at least to me the approach seems very backwards.
