I'm looking for resources that can teach me how to properly read a sql server execution plan.

I'm a long time developer, with tons of sql server experience, but I've never really learned how to really understand what an execution plan is saying to me.

I guess I'm looking for links, books, anything that can describe things like whether a clustered index scan is good or bad along with examples on how to fix issues.
