BPF: A New Type of Software

Brendan has a lot of great content that gets posted here regularly: http://www.brendangregg.com/ (I'm still trying find the time to get through it though).

There's also https://github.com/iovisor/bcc#tools as an easy way to get started using BPF.

I'd also recommend looking at bpftrace[1], which provides a simple DSL specifically for writing BPF programs and attaching them to events. (Disclaimer: I started the project)

Brendans sharing is amazing, I have and am learning so much from it, as well as having referred others to it when they have a performance issue but missing the troubleshooting tools.

Strange that Brendan Gregg's blog is not available via an RSS feed. An oversight?
