Can anybody provide a link to some notes on grassmanians? I mean something 'elementary': description of Plucker embedding, lines and hyperplanes on grassmanians and so on.

    "Elementary" often means "with coordinates", which makes basics such as the Plücker embedding incredibly complicated (as compared to the coordinate-free version). – Martin Brandenburg Jan 24 '14 at 10:28

Paolo Piccione and Daniel Victor Tausk's "A Student’s Guide to Symplectic Spaces, Grassmannians and Maslov Index" is a good textbook to start with.

Joe Harris's "Algebraic Geometry: A First Course" has a dedicated chapter about the Grassmannian. Also, there are computations of the degree, tangent space, etc. (the style is a bit hard to follow, though)
