Core tools

Mark IV
an introduction
mtxrun script
the helper script for all sorts of ConTeXt-related things, from individual runs to managing the installation tree
context script
it has two main uses: (1) compiling ConTeXt MkIV documents, and (2) recompiling the ConTeXt core format after you change one of the source files.
Visual Debugging
show the nasty details of your code, to understand and tweak ConTeXt typesetting.

Additional tools

Modules
LaTeX users call them "packages", DTP users "plug-ins"
PDF format output
ConTeXt can define the set of PDF Boxes defined by the PDF standard. It can create PDF/A and PDF/X (ISO standard) compliant outputs.
From LaTeX to ConTeXt
Particular tricks that are useful for moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt.
Posting on arxiv.org
How to submit ConTeXt documents to [1], the worldwide, heavily used physics (and now mathematics and computer science) open-access preprint server.
Sharing graphics
Export MetaPost drawings as PDF, import MetaPost drawings into MS Office, LibreOffice, etc.
