There are some How-to's on this, but my preference is remo's book:http://www.concrete5.org/about/blog/concrete5-sightings/book-on-con...

Also have a look at how designer content creates blockshttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/designer-content/... and have a look at some of the simpler blocks within C5 such as the html block.

Have a look at this tutorial about creating a new block type:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/blocks/understand...
Then look here for information how to put it in a package (Add-Ons are basically packages):
