Hi Rajan,
There are many resources, it depends on what you are looking for : Playing, theory (maqams)... If you are interested in learning maqams, I can suggest
to you the Maqam book (David Mualem) it's quite comprehensive, with good text and 40 demonstrations played by kanun. To know about the history, you
can read The music of the arabs (Habib Hassan Touma). I'm sure that other member will suggest others resources for oud, websites... or others topics
related to arabic music.
Good luck !
Regards,
Khalil

Maqam El Oud (Volume 1 & Volume 2) by Charbel Rouhana is a nice book about Oud.
