Keep in mind CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL so any resources for RHEL are applicable to CentOS.
I'm not sure if any EL7 books have been written yet (as it's fairly new and the Red Hat certifications have only just started being updated).
In the meanwhile one of the best resources is access.redhat.com ... read the documentation there.
it's very difficult to find up-to-date books on the subject, but yes, the docs on https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/ are so far really good.
it's all just very confusing for someone without Linux experience. all the docs/tutorials/examples out there are for previous versions so they are all out of date now that RHEL/CentOS 7 uses systemd.
also, the relationship between the OS, Gnome, and KDE is confusing. I installed CentOS 7 with GUI so I have Gnome 3.8.4 which I expected, but how come I have KDE stuff there as well?
and... I still haven't figured out how to add shortcuts to the desktop and/or task bar which should really be a context menu option so I'm not sure why Gnome is so un-intuitive in that case.
