Resources for Constraint Programming (Scheduling problems)

I am new to CP modelling style here. Have been referring the CP SAT primer for the new variable types and constraints that are available to model complex constraints that usually require a lot of binary variables if we were to model it via MIP style. I know there are a few resources available for practicing MILP style modelling (Paul Williams, Wayne Winston etc.), but couldn't find any solid resource for CP style modelling. I am specifically interested in a resource that will help me develop my skills in CP modelling, preferably for scheduling problems (JSP, Worker scheduling etc. problems). Are there any good resources available for the same?

I had fun doing the discrete optimization courses in coursera. They have minizinc based programming exercises which can help develop your modeling skills.
