Update (September 2, 2019): Apparently most of the links listed below are broken. I'll attempt to fix as I have time.
I don't like relying on my "Favorites" to find threads here on the forum.
I'm making an index of threads, I frequently link to or use, here.
Thanks to Humanoido for the idea of using a Test Forum post as an index.
This first post with be an index to the index.

(Updated: February 15, 2020) Below is some information about nRF24L01+ module. These modules are often very inexpensive. Don't pay more than $2 for the simple module.
I have on occasion received a transceiver that didn't work. If you're going to buy nRF24L01+ modules, I'd suggest getting at least three modules in case one of the modules is DOA.
(8/6/13) Added eBay Nordic module schematic and PCB layout.
(8/18/13) Here's a datasheet to the Nordic nRF24L01+ chip. (Datasheet hosted on SparkFun's server.)
(8/18/13) My Propeller driver for these modules (new driver coming soon).

How do I learn to program the Propeller chip?
(Broken Link)Propeller Education Kit (Also in "Help" menu of Propeller Tool)
This is probably the best place to start. Mostly Spin.
Propeller Resource Index (This is a stickie in the Propeller Forum.)
A lot of the the links in above index are also listed here.
Learn.Parallax.Com
This is another good place to start learning about programming the Propeller in Spin. These tutorials use the Propeller Board of Education.
Here's direct link to Spin tutorials on Learn.
Propeller Manual v1.0 (older version)
The older version of the manual include a section on learning to use Spin. This is the way I learned Spin.
Corrections to the v1.0 Manual.
Propeller AppNotes Lots of great information. Make sure and take a look a them. Spin and PASM.

(6/17/14) AN019 Measuring Stack Space for Parallel Processes
The Spin Zone: Adventures in Propeller Programming
Nuts & Volts articles by Jon Williams (JonnyMac) I finally figured out how to program with PASM from these.
(These also include lots of good information about programming in Spin.)
Programming and Customizing the Muticore Propeller Microcontroller
Not really an absolute beginner's book, but lots of good stuff. (Mostly Spin IIRC.)
(10/30/14) Jeff Ledger's Propeller Cookbook (Spin)
deSilva's Tutorial
This a good one for learning PASM. Potatohead's tutorial is also here.
Graham Stabler's Tutorials PASM
I personally haven't read these but they are recommended by others and Graham is a smart guy so they should be good.
The Hydra Book (Direct link to pdf (warning large file).)
This is a great book. It has lot of information about the Propeller video capabilities.
Propeller Wiki
Both Spin and PASM information.
Propeller Downloads
Both Spin and PASM information.

How do I use a SD card with the Propeller?
(3/26/14) Simple example of using uSD card with PropBOE
How can I tell if my EEPROM is 32K or 64K?
Use the program attached to post #24 in this thread.
More explaination.
(8/25/13) What EEPROM chips will work with the Propeller (booting from EEPROM)?
The datasheet for EEPROM chips apply to both surface mount parts and DIP packages.
32K EEPROM (link to datasheet)
64K EEPROM (link to datasheet)
128K EEPROM (no link yet)
Apparently there are several different 128K EEPROM chips which may be used with the Propeller. The upper 64K of the 128K EEPROM chips are accessed differently depending on the specific chip's protocol. Mike Green discusses this a bit in this post.
(1/9/14) Is there an ANDN equivalent in Spin?
How can I interface the Prop with a file on my computer?
Use Phil's program to read a write to Windows cvs files.
Also see AppNote #AN018.
How do I learn to build a robot?
Robotics with the Boe-Bot (Link to the book is near the bottom of the page, under "Downloads & Resources")
I like this book but I'm not a fan of Basic Stamps (Propeller are so much better).
The book still teach a lot about electronics which may be applied to a robot controlled by a Propeller chip.
If you need help converting any of the lessons to use with a Propeller, just ask on the Propeller Forum.
I understand Parallax is working on a Prop-Bot. I look forward to it.

Have you to thank for the idea of using a test forum post as an index. (I just added a line to my first post about this.)
I considered use the blog area as an index but I like the way forum posts display better than the way blog posts display.
You also have to add some code to get links to show up in blogs.
I have a bunch of projects I haven't documented yet. Hopefully I'll have more to add to my personal project index soon.

Esp. "things erco made me buy"...
I know that list is woefully incomplete.
I'm hoping if I made an "erco deals I resisted" list, it would be longer than the "buy" list, but I'm not so sure it would be.
Thanks Whit.
I'm not as altruistic as this index may at first make me appear. I mainly made this index for my own use. I myself wanting to link to certain threads in my forum replies and I got tired of searching for these same threads over and over again. Most of the items in this index are things I'm very interested in myself. This index doesn't have much (if any) information I'm not personally interested in.
I also wanted a place to list my various projects.
Another forum member has made a similar sort of index. I thought I had a link to it somewhere in this thread but I couldn't find just now. This other index has a lot of great information. I'll try to find it again and made sure to add a link to it in post #1 of this index (I thought I had already done this).
As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread/index, I got the idea of listing my projects in a test forum thread from Humanoido. I like many of Humanoido's threads listing threads on various topics (serial drivers, Propeller programming languages, multi-Propeller projects, etc.) and wanted to start some of my own lists on topics I'm interested in.
I don't mind at all. I got the idea from Humanoido.
I wish other forum members kept a list of their projects and forum threads they think are important or interesting. I think it would be fun to see what others have done and what they find interesting.
I use Rich's search page (linked to at the top of post #1) a lot but there are lots of threads which are hard to find through Google or the forum search page. I've found this list of links has been extremely useful.
You are so great !
I got here by clicking the link in your signature over in the thread where you gave me some ideas about providing 5 volts for the project board. WOW - this is a great resource. Thanks
Thanks, I'm hope it helps you find things.
You're very welcome.
Thanks but I disagree about this being made a sticky. A few years ago the first page in the Propeller Forum was half filled with stickies. I was very glad when they merged the stickies into the Propeller Resource Index (there is also a link to the PRI in post #3).
Unfortunately with the recent change in Parallax's website, many of the links in PRI are broken. (I hate it when Parallax breaks links like this.) I've tried to fix all the broken links in this thread.
duane, you seem like you know your stuff. i am in need of some assistance maybe you can help or point me in the right direction. i work for a tv station making commercials and i am always doing something on a computer. i have carpal tunnel and i believe arthritis is setting in on most of my fingers. i have been trying to mod mice, keyboards, gamepads, and old video editing control panels for some time now with varying levels of success. nothing has turned out like i wanted so i decided to get into the micro controller scene which is something i have always wanted to do anyway. i started with two trinkets from adafruit but they would never connect to my pc, the software would not install. a few days ago in radioshack i purchased two propeller p8x32a quickstart boards, two five position switches, and a few spdt-submini lever switches. i have also been disassembling any human interface device and collecting every button i could find for a year now. i am trying to emulate a mouse and keyboard so i can program hot keys for various applications. i would like to use the 8 touch buttons and the items listed but i have no idea where to start and i cannot find a tutorial that fits my needs please help.
My wife has carpal tunnel syndrome also and I've been investigating ways of making a custom mouse. I don't know how to emulate a mouse right now but I'll share what I've learned so far. There was a recent thread on this topic. I'll find the thread and add to this reply in the other thread. Once I find the other thread, I'll add a link to it here. I might not have time to reply properly until tomorrow.
I had to reboot after installing in order for my camera to work again. It seems like it might work well in certain situations.
I started a thread in the projects forum and included some links to HID information. I haven't done much more than read about the topic so far.
I tried to fix some links which were broken in the last forum migration but after fixing the links I received the following error:
