I doubt that site is going further then D7 in it's documentation. Is the following enough/too much/dangerous to start from?

A nice tutorial/breakdown with a lot of stuff (read: interfaces definitions) in it can be found here:

WARNING: official documentation on the web, from which one can deduce the interface(s) and how to use it. So don't read it if it "taints" you.
