I'm also a newbie at rigging, but I just finished my first character rig by taking a lot of tips from this tutorial:

It explains IKs, contraints, ect. I hope that helps =)

For the reel I think it's the same rules as other artists, keep it short with only your very best stuff and care about how you show things... ... Unlike my demo reel, that is full of placeholders for the moment ^_^
