As above, I'm looking for a summary or a guidebook related to Foucault's philosophy, especially his ideas on the discourse.

There is also Foucault for Dummies (http://www.amazon.com/Foucault-Beginners-Writers-Readers-Documentary/dp/086316160X)... I mean For Beginners.

Perhaps you should begin with the first volume of The History of Sexuality.

Or possibly Discipline and Punish.

The 'very short introduction', as usual, looks good. The same author has a freebie version:
