Can anyone recommend a good resource for learning PostresQL? I have a decent understanding of SQL, I've used MySQL in the past, but every time I see the latest features of Postres I'm left thinking I'll need to buy a book and take a pretty deep dive to figure out how to apply the new features.

You'll likely find the PostgreSQL docs[0] very useful. They're organized differently than the MySQL reference making it easier (in my experience) for reading stand-alone.† They're quite well-written and up-to-date.

† The MySQL reference is very useful particularly when you're looking to compare feature differences between versions.

They are pretty good.
