Some tutorials, sorry for any ones previously mentioned in this thread:

Some, possibly, useful plugins that could work well with parallax:
- Load content when inview: https://github.com/protonet/jquery.inview
- Waypoints: http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/
- Lateral on-scroll sliding content: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/12/05/lateral-on-scroll-sliding-with-jquery/
- jQuery delay animations: http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/jquery-delay-plugin/
- scrollTo: http://demos.flesler.com/jquery/scrollTo/
- Scrollpath: http://joelb.me/scrollpath/
I particularly like the inview plugin for triggering CSS3 animations when scrolling into view.
And, some lovely examples of more parallax websites for inspiration and code snooping:
