I found the first chapter of Paul Dierckx (1993) Curve and Surface
Fitting with Splines (Oxford U. Pr.). Beyond that, I've learned a lot
from the 'fda' package and the two companion volumes by Ramsay and
Silverman (2006) Functional Data Analysis, 2nd ed. and (2002) Applied
Functional Data Analysis (both Springer).
If I may add my 2 cents:
Section 2 ("B-Splines in a Nutshell") in the article listed below, is in
my opinion, a good and compact outline of B-Splines.
* Flexible Smoothing with $B$-splines and Penalties
* Paul H. C. Eilers, Brian D. Marx
* Statistical Science, Vol. 11, No. 2 (May, 1996), pp. 89-102
I hope this helps,
Roland
