Yes, there are significant code changes between 1.0.x and 1.5.x; code written for 1.5 will not work in 1.0. The general concepts of components, modules, and plugins are still the same though.

There isn't any 1.0.x component development book that I'm aware of. The changes are a little too numerous to list and it really depends on what your component does. Execution still starts at components/com_yourcom/yourcom.php and administrator/components/com_yourcom/admin.yourcom.php, but that's where the compatibility essentially ends. There are some 1.0.x component tutorials though: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,63383.0.html
