http://llvm.org/docs/ is a good place to start... some parts are more
useful than others, but http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/ is one place to
start.  http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html might also be useful.
http://llvm.org/demo/ is another way to get a feel for the LLVM IR
representation.  Beyond that, I'm not sure what specifically you're
interested in... maybe take a look at
http://llvm.org/OpenProjects.html .
