Scott, I have no idea how much you know about Mac resources, so sorry if this is redundant. I run a Twitter account called @VOTips, and the timeline of that account has some really useful tips and tricks for iOS and OS10 from a Voiceover perspective. Then you have www.applevis.com, with app reviews, podcasts, forums, blogs, and guides/tutorials on all things Apple.
As to Bootcamp, if you're really comfortable in the Mac, I wouldn't. Both Bootcamp and a virtual machine application have their pros and cons, but I made a 200gb Bootcamp partition when I first got my Mac. Now I wish I hadn't, and am about to remove it in favor of a virtual machine. I only did Bootcamp because I was new to the Mac and needed a computer I knew how to use. Since you are already fine with your Mac, you might consider skipping Bootcamp and going straight to a VM. Again, I know both methods are good for different situations, and I encourage you to research them thoroughly before making the choice, but if your Mac can handle it, a VM might be a better solution than taking up a bunch of hard drive space with Bootcamp.
