"Twitter API: Up & Running" from O'Reilly is exactly what you're looking for. It assumes a smidge of basic PHP/programming knowledge, and goes from there. http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596157791/
(Full disclosure: I was a technical editor on this book. I don't get a cut for every book sold or anything like that, though. It just happens to be the best resource I'm aware of that meets your needs.)
