Digital photography

a little off-topic but does anyone have any recommendations for learning about colour management, calibration etc?

My job requires a bit of photoshop/indesign/lightroom for both web and print and i've never really started to get my head around it.

Use a calibrator to generate a colour profile for your screen.
Install blackout blinds so that your room always has the same light conditions.
Use a calibrator to generate a colour profile for your printer and/or scanner.
Use sRGB as your working color space.

Note: different devices would probably be needed for calibrating the screen (emitted/filtered light) and the printer (reflected/absorbed).
