I have used Danny Proulx's books on cabinet construction. They can be purchased online at places like Amazon or directly from Danny's web site at http://www.cabinetmaking.com. I checked several of his books out from the local library as well.

I have also checked out a book from Jim Tolpin "Building Traditional Kitchen Cabinets" which has a lot of good information.

As usual no affiliation with any of the above.

The Kreg jig is great for basic cabinets and they have a video. This technique is the fastest I found.

Issue #7 has some really nice cabinets that work great in the shop. I build a bunch of these they really maximize storage.[IMG]WWAH Issue #7 (http://www.woodworkingathome.com/Mag/0007-WaHM.htm)
