Anybody know of any good sites with instructions on how to lay hardwood flooring. I've searched on Google and can find lots of info on the basics, but I need to transition from the hardwood to tile and I'm not sure how to do this part. I'll be using 2 1/4 prefinished hardwood.

go to the floor manufacturers........ you lay their product to their specifications.....
Ditto.
As for the transition, are you using a marble threshold? Are the two finished floors level?
Transitions can range from a simple vinyl "tee" section that plugs into a metal track, to a grouted marble strip, to wooden shapes that transition different height floors.
Information about the gap that needs to exist, and the actual transition product itself can be had from the manufacturer of the flooring. The gap will vary depending upon which side of the flooring it's touching (end or long grain) and what's on the other side.
