Good resources for learning how to use the Entity Framework 4.0?

Question

I am starting a new module on a project and hear the Entity Framework 4.0 is coming along nicely with its POCO support, lazy-loading, and many other great features. The problem I have is trying to find good resources for learning the technology that isn't geared towards version 1.0 I am following Julie Lermans blog where she is working on a 2nd edition to her book, but need to find something now with a lot of in-depth code samples and tutorials. Thanks!
