There are so many, the one I learned from, and liked very much, was:
Johan Gustafsson's Guide to Scripting (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=54)

I have also heard that snYpir's A Friendly Introduction to Code Snippets (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=13) is very good, although I can't say from personal experience.

After gaining the basics I then suggest you look at scripts that others have done and learn how they did it.  You can learn a lot from someone else.

And of course, for those problems you just can't solve, ou can always post a question on the forums.  There are many helpful and brilliant people here ready to help.

Good luck with scripting, it is daunting at first, but once the basics are learned, things start falling into place.

These two are the best way to get started.   For simple scripts working 'in the field' get the Tutorial Mission, also in the Editors Depot.

If you find these tutes are a bit difficult to start with, read Abuu's Basic Editing Tutorial.

Of course, the tutorial mission (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=84), I knew I left something out.

Btw, Macguba is one of the brilliant people I mentioned, get to know him well ;)

EDIT:
Oh, I just noticed this was in the multiplayer section ::)

Ok...here are some multiplayer tutorials.  I don't know how good they are, though, I don't edit multiplayer missions.
