It's oriented toward cinema/video, but fits for still work also. I don't think how to get quality fill gets discussed enough. As for myself, I find it difficult to get it right.

Watching well lit television productions is a really good lighting tutorial.
I find a lot of times the lighting is just right, and then notice a relatively hard edge on the shadow from the main light. As noted in the linked article, its about the relationship of the main and fill not how broad they are relative to the subject.

Great resource, thanks for linking.
