Software industry primers

Hi guys:

Could you recommend some good sources for publicly available software industry primers please? I've been looking at consulting firms and boutique/software focused investment banks' white papers (I found one called Shea & company - are they good?) , as well as internet reports by Mary Meeker, but was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the best / most credible sources please?

Thanks!
