Pricing

I have been a software developer for a while but was not interested in the above topics, currently I am put in the position of wanting to learn more about them but don't have a clue where to begin.

I have done task estimations and I can do decent ones, but have little/none experience in the field of budget/product pricing and would want to learn more.

Do you have any suggestions of good resources that I could look up in order to learn more (eg. books, blogs, ...)

This need arised while talking to a friend about management and he brought up management terms that I wasn't aware of (eg. KPI, ...)
