Try Methods in Enzymology vol 200/201, especially chapters by Rick
Pearson/Bruce Kemp for excellent summaries. Another good source is "The
protein kinase Facts Book" by G Hardie/S Hanks and Academic Press.
A computer search of Prosite will reveal many phosphorylation sites.
However, just remember that these are *predictions* only and are
sometimes a mile off reality. I don't know of any other programs.
