LandarchBIM – Lauren Schmidt’s blog focusing on the Landscape side of Dynamo.
LearnDynamo – Jeremy Graham’s website focusing upon practical office solutions for Revit based Dynamo use.

Dynamo Tutorials:

DynamoBIM’s Learning Videos – A series of Videos from the DynamoBIM website. They are under the process of being revamped but are still very useful.
Structural Computational Logic by Håvard Vasshaug – A tutorial that runs through the creation of an Adaptive Component, then uses Dynamo to place said component.
Case’s Door Renumbering – A door re-numbering tutorial by William Wong from Case Inc.
Håvard Vasshaug’s Random Parameter Values – A tutorial that showcases using Dynamo to sporadically resize tree families.
Håvard Vasshaug’s Rebar Tutorial – A tutorial that showcases using Dynamo to populate Rebar in a model.
BIMTecnicheParametrichediProgettazione – Claudio Vittori’s Adaptive Component placement tutorial.
Getting Bottom of Pipe (MEP) – Mohammed Mahboob’s simple tutorial on a difficult OOTB Revit problem.
Automated Feasibility Project – Kyle Martins automated feasibility project including discourse and .dyn file.
Export and Import Revit Data using Excel – Michael Kilkelly’s tutorial on how to use Excel and to import and export data through Dynamo.
Dynamo for MEP Part 1 and Part 2 – BIM42’s Simon Moreau posts on how to link Rooms and Spaces and Link between Terminals and Main Ducts

Other: is a few websites that will help you with your Dynamo exploration

Wolfram Mathworld – A preeminent mathematics resource that will help you understand mathematical concepts for use in formulaic Dynamo data control and manipulation.

Dynamo Related: This will capture additional resources related to Dynamo for both learning and curiosities sake.

Dynamo Customiser – As per this blog post, the Dynamo Customiser, currently in Beta release, allows you to publish scripts to the web and have users interact with your customisable content (ie. sliders).
