Georgi Georgev did a major overhaul of AnalyticsToolkit.com. This website has solutions to many of the hard questions facing practitioners when planning and analyzing A/B tests.

The concepts around experimentation can also be applied on yourself. Craig Sullivan explains how he (should) use it to figure out why he was having migraine attacks.
