I quite often get stuck trying to solve particular problems, or getting syntaxes right.

Apart from the details provided in the links on GDAL Utilities, does anyone know of any 3rd party resources/manuals explaining it in a bit more user friendly way?

Book:

Python Geospatial Development - Second Edition, by Eric Westra

It's a nice tutorial for processing spatial data with GDAL Python library mainly.

Of course GDAL website is a nice source of informations: http://www.gdal.org

One of best resources to start working on GDAL is the Cheat sheet for GDAL/OGR command-line geodata tools, and below you can find a list of links for diving deeply:
