The official docs[1,2] have generally been enough for me, could you be
more specific about what is causing trouble?
That said, I've never written code that needs to be more than trivially
aware of timezones before. I'm not sure if this is just because the
abstractions provided are nice or if I've not had to solve a hard
problem here.

There's already a page on the postgres wiki about this[3], maybe
something needs clarifying?
