You should really read over the [Jekyll wiki](http://wiki.github.com/mojombo/jekyll) because most of your work will be using Jekyll. Beyond that Octopress is mostly some rake tasks, HAML, and SASS/Compass that has been meticulously crafted for ease of use and modification.

Octopress's stylesheets are written in [SASS](http://sass-lang.com). If you haven't learned SASS, you should. It's the future. Octopress also uses [Compass](http://compass-style.org) which is a framework for SASS and contains a great library of SASS mixins which make it trivial to write complicated CSS. This is also the future.

The default theme is comprised of Layout, Typography, Theme, and Partials. Octopress also has a library of mixins that act like SASS helpers for styling tasks.
