Alright here comes.
Enderfarm for dummies
Where to start?
Place a minecart close to the rail terminator block, jump into the rail cart and press the wooden button.
While on the rail moving towards the endfarm - do not jump out of the rail cart. You'll meet an untimely death in the void, losing all your stuff.
Don't shoot moving rail carts with your bow if there are players on board.
When you finally arrive, don't leave your mine cart on the track. Players arriving after you, will bounce back onto the track and get a return to start.
In the farm base area
The upper floor. A place to hold parties and whatnot. Remember to book the place in advance. Some endermen might escape the holding area and you'll find them either on the stairs down to the lower floor, or on the rails to your left.
Lower floor. You can spend your hard earned experience points here by either enchanting your stuff or repairing them.
The Workbenches. Make new tools or weapons or anything you want on these benches.
There shouldn't be any chests placed around this area. The chests on the picture are temporary and will be removed as soon as the endfarm is complete.
Why the carpet you might ask... Chests should be stacked double as in the picture. The top chest needs room and so the roof must be removed. A double layer of carpet gives the impression that there is a floor above the top chest.
Farming
There are two modes to the farm. The lever on the picture switches between the modes. One mode raises the kill floor and puts the farm in XP mode, where you can kill endermen and gain experience points. Lowering the kill floor will put the farm into enderpearls farming mode.
While in XP mode and to avoid breaking anything while harvesting experience, run around the kill floor facing the endermen using A or D keys. If you want, you can place a dirt block at the entrance to avoid breaking your run at that spot. You either run around the killing floor or back and forth, hitting rapidly the endermen as you pass them.
A good idea is to take small breaks to let the farm fill up with endermen.
Do not use any of your tools killing the endermen. A pick ax or any other tools will easily destroy the carpet or the glass around you.
Best practice is to hold your food of choice while killing the endermen (you'll get hungry quickly while working in the farm). They need only to be hit once with whatever you hold or don't hold in your hand. Besides, weapons will dull if used on the endermen.
If you start seeing xp globes swirling around you, you are at maximum speed absorbing experience. Ideally you should have this happen all the time while working for XP in the farm. This might be reality at a later stage of developing the farm.
Dangers
The end is a dangerous place as endermen can quickly kill you. The void will swallow your stuff and kill you if you fall into it.
Venturing on the outside of the farm is not advisable. If you however feel like a reckless fool, and want to walk on the roof or something, make sure you stay where the water is calm.. and that is generally at center up along the farm area.
A good tip is to not look directly at the endermen if you use the return portal. If you want to walk anonymously among the endermen, put a pumpkin on your head. They'll get confused and think you're one of them.
But whatever you do.. do not drop your pick ax on their toe, its a sure way to get you killed fast.
Return home
Getting back home from the endfarm is a choice between two options. The easiest is to use the /home command.
If you can't use it and don't want to stay in the endfarm until you can use it, you'll have to return on the rail track. Use the same procedure as getting to the farm. Place the mine cart close to the end of line block, jump into the cart and press the wooden button.
At the rail end... follow the passage out to the end landscape and follow the torches to the end portal.
