There is a video?

I think the Delta Group is primarily run, now, by Wilder's sons. I have not heard the best things about it, but then as I mentioned the theory wasn't well received in the first place. The variations that I look at were derivations from the original by people who were Directors or worked for Directors of Wilder's group. It's marginally different.

I think they (Delta) came up with some software that plays off Delta....I get adverts for "ADAM", I think it is, once in awhile for example.

As far as primers. I think if you contact the CME they will send out an Info Pak. You might wish to get a dictionary. One I have is "Dictionary of Futures and Options" by Webber. There is no price on it, but it could not be much. It's only slightly more than 200 pages. Purely a reference book.

As far as other primers, I'm sure they are out there and I probably have a few but once you understand in general terms how the contracts expire, what the general rules are, what the Order Procedure is and so forth....the general idea is to trade (the SnP, at least) using many of the same techniques that you might use to trade any Index and (to some extent) stock.

The general idea is to develop a method or system that seems to work for your style and emotional make-up. There are nuances specific to trading futures, but that's a learning experience. No one can tell you that if this happens, that happens, only because there are always external factors that have to be taken into account. Once you "know" the terminologies and the general concepts then the SnP is just another way of trading the Stock Market, for the most part.

That's what I think, anyway. Again, I am only referring to the SnP. I don't trade bonds or currencies as yet. I'm quite certain those markets require different skills and learning curves. Also, the DJ and ND Contracts appear less liquid to me, so one has to be especially careful in those arenas to my way of thinking.
