Is there a standard tutorial or documentation for developing CB plugins?
I have a plugin I'm working on that is working so far (I modified an existing plugin) -- but I need this plugin to have backend/admin configuration options. For instance, the tab paramters in the backend to say: "Show Foo Bar?" and allow the admin to check Yes or No -- so that Foo Bar will show/hide on the tab.
Any direction? Many thanks...

Ok, so I see that setting parameters is identical to creating parameters for Joomla extensions. That makes it easy!
but I am still curious. Is there an official tutorial for creating CB plugins?

Not really tutorials, but there's the documents which you can download.
Nothing is exactly spoon fed. Ya just need to play around with it until you get the hang of it.
I also suggest you use a config file rather then use params as each param is a query.

Are you sure ? 
CB caches the entries for plugins and tabs, so that params stay in memory, and don't require any extra query. 
So we recommend to store the params using the normal CB way, and not with separate files.
