The best resources you will find are:
Module Creator extension
Branko's blog post on writing a custom module
The official Magento wiki article
And of course the great set of articles written by Stack Overflower Alan Storm which will help you understand the complex architecture that you are plugging into with your custom module.
Finally, searching Stack Overflow will help a lot! The Magento forums are full of pretty poor advice, be wary of editing core files and other bad practices...

I am trying create a joomla component. In that component I need to store some phone numbers and those numbers should be provided when an extension asks for them. How can I achieve this? Please direct me if there is comprehensive tutorials.
Thanks in advance...
A similar question exists in the Joomla Stack Exchange site here, with links, suggestions and references to a bunch of resources around Joomla Development.
Furthermore in JSE you can find great assistance for specific questions during your development attempt.
The Joomla! support site has some links to component development:
http://docs.joomla.org/Portal:Component_Development
I see that you tagged 2.5, but version 3 is the new stable version. There is an example V3 component here:

When I started, I looked at an existing extension which was similar to what I wanted and went from there.

This isn't really a programming question, but there are tons of FAQ extensions.

My question is do widgets get in on any custom libraries that I add to a custom module? What I want to achieve is create a custom module and I want to add ability to generate pdf documents so I was thinking of making the pdf generation a widget as I would like to use that on another site. If I made it a module, would I be able to share the resources between my pdfmodule and any other module? Sometimes I wish there was a book written on pyrocms that clarifies these issues.
Sorry it took a month to spot this one, but we generally help out on the support forums and don't look here as often.
SO, cross loading resources. Yep that is supported just fine. We use the HMVC plugin for CodeIgniter and often forget that people don't know too much about how it works. I'll get something added to the documentation for this, but basically you just specify the module name like this:
$this->load->library('modulename/libraryname');
Hope this helps anyone finding this in the future. It's probably a bit late for Eagletrophy.
