I've done a few OpenLayers project since starting this page as a place holder 2 years ago. Information about them (and more about OpenLayers) is scattered around the Wildsong web site.
What is OpenLayers?
OpenLayers (http://openlayers.org/) is a library of Javascript code that you download and put on your Web server. You reference it from your own HTML and Javascript based pages, to put maps into your web site.
Docs for programmers: http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers-js.html
OpenLayers is very stable code. It has been at version 2.x as long as I have used it. Version 3 has been a long time coming, we await anxiously.
I have copies of the PacktPubs books, the authors page is here http://vasir.net/openlayers_book and the example code is here: https//www.packtpub.com/openlayers-2-1-javascript-web-mapping-library-beginners-guide/book
I also have a copy of their new short book.
