It depends on what level you want to understand it at. Do you want to know how to set it up, or the details of how dual-key encryption works, or something in between?

Setting up SSL will depend somewhat on whether you're using IIS, Apache, or something else. You need a certificate to get it going. The details will, as usual, vary widely.

If you provide any more details on what you wish to implement I'd love to help. If you wish to learn how to implement SSL on different types of servers that may be a great place for you to start on certificate administration. It's basically what training would give you, if you sought out to get it.
