Hi Petern,

The simple componets such as mail and tLogRow can be tested but once I started trying to pull together a real world scenario such as a salesforce data load using quartz there was no explanation I could find on these nodes as well as a best practice for how to set it up. I have a good working knowledge of coding and can use alot of the nodes, but activemq, camel, and karaf I fall a bit short and so does the documentation from apache. Are there and best practice guides, component documentation, activemq tutorials posted?

There is some documentation to help you get started in fact. You should be able to access the whole set of documentation from your license email. Let me know if you couldn't.
To get started, you can simply refer to the Talend_ESB_GettingStarted UG which provides a real world example (rent a car demo) that may not match exactly your business case though, but is worth taking a look at least.
To discover the graphical Mediation components you have in the palette of components of your Studio, please refer to TalendEnterprise_ESB_MediationComponents_RG, which is a Reference Guide providing basic scenarios for each camel component.
If you want additional information regarding the Apache Camel EIP, please refer to Talend_ESB_Mediation_DG, which is the developer's guide for TAlend users of Apache Camel Series .
Regarding Karaf, you can refer to the admin guide:Talend_ESB_Container_AG
Regarding the Studio, please refer to TalendEnterprise_ESBStudio_UG which is the GUI-oriented user manual, providing a Theory to Practice chapter with some examples of routes and services business cases.
The ActiveMQ maybe misses a bit of coverage at the moment, but this will be fixed in the next release (5.2).

Also, just as a suggestion if there are none it would be great to extend your tutorial set to include such processes, especially since everything is built on top of apache components.

we'll add an ActiveMQ tutorial in our to-do list for new tutorials. If you have more tutorials topics to suggest, please feel free to reply here.
