Welcome aboard.
For me, I think the biggest trick is not to think forward from data but
backwards from search. That's what will drive the shape of processing.
In the beginning, just focus on getting data indexed and searched in
primitive ways, even with just a single multivalued wildcards catch-all
field. Then, evolve from there.
Oh and to understand request handlers (/select, etc.) in solrconfig.xml,
especially with the way to provide defaults. And UpdateRequestProcessor
pipeline if you need to tweak data in Solr but before schema.
And Json facets on top of the ones the older books cover.
Regards,
Alex
P. S. I usually have some newbie tricks in my presentations on slideshare
too. And very basic schemas on Github.
