I’ve been in the same situation, just finding my feet with ADO and .Net database handling in Visual Studio. Up to now I’m finding that some of the most useful guides are:

• Walkthrough of getting started with SQL Server Compact
• Tutorial on Linq-to-SQL
• The guide to using table adapters to synchronise the DataSet with the database
