All of the Xcode QCPlugin sample projects are fairly well commented, even if there aren't actually tutorials. So, with each step, the logic behind it is fairly well explained, for the most part. There is also a place at the ADC where all of the QCplugin methods are listed, and even a patch programming tutorial guide.
In addition to that, there are published source code for a variety of the v002 plugin projects, and many standard API source code projects available on the net, at places like github, google code, etc. (...apart from Troy's suggestion of the pertinent SQLiteQuery project).
