Many great books on the subject, but nothing beats practice! Make small strides in the beginning and don't look to cast the entire line in a month. Casting time on the water is very helpful and most beneficial, so whenever possible, practice on the water. Learn to deal with the condition. Get help from a buddy or classes etc. Don't rush it just keep practicing. Come early to a meeting and get in on some casting outside before the meeting starts

--VERY IMPORTANT-- Please be careful whenever
you are flyfishing, especially around people. Many times even
experienced conventional fisherman are not aware of how much distance
a flyfisherman needs to cast behind him. You do, so the responsibility
is yours! Take a look before each cast to be safe. It is a good
habit to get into. Do not flyfish in overcrowded spots. Yield
to them before they request It's better that way. Allow as much
room between spots as to respect everyone's space. Use common
sense always.

Generally, the darker the water the deeper and the lighter the
shade, the shallower. However, different bottoms may show different
colors that do not necessarily mean any change in water depth
so proceed cautiously. The ocean beaches reveal themselves by
bowls and bars. The bowls are the deep holes and the bars are
the shallow points. 
White
water is usually present in the shallows and larger, uncresting
waves give away the deep water. These holes and bars can also
be identified with out seeing the water by looking at the beaches
and reading the configuration up and down the water's edge.

scallopped when viewed this way with the deep waterin between
the shallow points. Walking along the beach can also tell you
where you might want to fish by the angle of the sand burm to
the water. The steeper, the deeper! If there is almost no slope
then that is the shallowest part.
Currents
also give away good places to fish. Look to find where the different
currents meet. Fish along these seams or where it ends or dumps
out. Whenever you find any kind of an abrupt change, fish it!
