Best resource for serious Commodore 64 programming

What is the best resource for serious Commodore 64 programming?

Assume that serious programming on the Commodore 64 is not done in BASIC V2 that ships with the Commodore 64.

I feel like most of the knowledge is tied up in old books and not available on the internet.

All that I have found online are either very beginner style introductions to Commodore 64 programming (Hello world), or arcane demo-coder hacks to take advantage of strange parts of the hardware. I haven't found a well-explained list of opcodes, memory locations for system calls, and general mid-level examples and tips.

Main portals I have found:
World of Fairlight
lemon64
C-64 Scene Database
c64web Actually hosted on a Commodore 64!

Tools I have found:
cc65 A C compiler that can target Commodore 64.
