Training – DVD – People Training for Dogs, Cesar Milan
Book – Ceasar's Way, Cesar Milan
Behaviour – Book – How to Speak Dog, Stanley Coren
Book – How Dog's Think, Stanley Coren
Understanding dog behaviour will give you all kinds of insight on training.
Weimaraners respond really well to clicker training.

A question to you is are you training it as a hunting dog or just for family. Most of the basis is the same but there are special techniques you can use for hunting.

If you go to http://www.petfinder.com you will find a link on the main page, down towards the bottom for some good basic training videos to get you started.
My best suggestion tho, is to get into a puppy kindergarten class and maybe some basic obedience classes after. There's a world of knowledge that having a trainer in person can give you that you'll not pick up easily on your own.
We use clicker training too, which is really productive in training our dog. I got a basic book called "Clicking with your dog" by Peggy Tillman which is very detailed with illustrations and how to apply clicker training. I highly recommend it.
