The videos and explanation sheet on Kathy Love's site - Sexing* Corn* Snakes - are probably a good place to start.

If they are babies you can pop them pretty easily

I think the best way is to have someone show you really, it makes a world of difference actually seeing it in person, and getting a good set of probes is also essential.
