Books: Real Estate Development: Principals and Processes , Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investments
Designations: CCIM
I'd recommend you read these textbooks and start on your CCIM designation as soon as possible. I've found the CCIM designation to be the most holistic overview of commercial real estate in its separate facets.
However, there is no substitute for doing. I've done a bit of everything so can speak to pros and cons of each. It really depends on your personality and what you want to achieve. PM me for a more in-depth discussion.
Argus Developer sucks balls. That said, this book comes with a free trial copy of Argus, I think.
CRE is so nuanced and niche that there really are very few "norms" mostly needs to be learned via experience/apprenticeship. I would however recommend these books if you don't have access to the aforementioned:

General take is that you already being in real estate development will create a presumption that you understand the finance side, so I'm not sure what you'd gain from achieving a tangible paper trail of your finance studies. That said, my opinion would be different if you were looking to leave development to go into a more pure finance role.
That said, if you're worried about your lack of depth, then I would suggest taking one of two routes, or perhaps both routes... The first is using free courses on real estate finance and finance more generally. Coursera, Damodaran, MIT, etc. all provide wonderful material for free. The second route is through self-education with a text book or reference book.
For books, I suggest the following:
If you're interested in real estate as a global investment, Towers of Capital (Lizieri, 2009) is worth checking out.
You can probably find digital versions of these books floating around online for "free" if you dig. Let me know if you have any questions.
