I am working with an existing ical file at work. I'm not sure who is creating it, and I would like to become more familiar with ical before I contact them - so I can have an intelligent conversation.
Can someone point me to a good beginner tutorial for iCal?
Most of what I've found so far has been very vague, and assumes too much user knowledge. I need something that covers the basics (tags/parameters, setup, publishing, etc), but also explains things like synching iPhone, Android, and Blackberry with calendar updates on the server.

iCalendar is a standard for calendar data exchange. The standard is sometimes referred to as "iCal", which also is the name of the Apple, Inc. calendar program that provides one of the implementations of the standard. Outlook can subscribe to Internet-based calendars, such as the Google calendar.
iCal (short for iCalendar) is a computer file format supported by a large number of products, including Google Calendar and Apple Calendar (formerly known as iCal). Within Redtail you have the ability to set your preferences so that your Calendar data can be synced to a product you are using that supports iCal.
The Wikipedia page on iCalendar includes an overview of the history and basics of the format.
RFC 5545 defines the detail of the format.
