In addition to your fastgraph.com link above, I found
  http://paulbourke.net/geometry/rotate/
very useful when I programmed this stuff in C.
It's a bit more "cookbook", and it also (though briefly)
discusses quaternions (which I agree is likely the
better approach, though, at least for me, harder to
intuitively see how it's working).
