I also started recently.

1. First thing I did is to go through 'Contribute to OpenStack' section
   in the wiki page https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Main_Page

2. docs.openstack.org also has several documentations.

3. For nova https://launchpad.net/nova page has links to more documents.
   If you are looking at low level API documentation here it is 

   http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/devref/index.html

4. The following links were also helpful

   http://www.sandywalsh.com/2012/04/openstack-nova-internals-pt1-overview.html

   http://www.sandywalsh.com/2012/09/openstack-nova-internals-pt2-services.html

   After this there were no follow-up articles.

5. This document is very high level but has a comprehensive diagram in
   it 

   http://www.sandywalsh.com/2012/09/openstack-nova-internals-pt2-services.html

I hope this helps. If you find anything interesting, let me know.

Thanks and Regards
Noorul
