This is the best book that I found so far on learning the PostgreSQL database. It teaches everyting you'll need to write applications using Posgres and does it in a very clear and concise manner. It also covers many languages which can be used with Postgres to create very powerful applications. One thing that I would recommend is adding Python to that list.
