You have the
ZDoom wiki which is a comprehensive knowledge base for ZDoom, including ACS. Rick Clark's scripting primer (
http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/index.php?tit ... ing_Primer) is a well rounded choice for new ACS users.

The best way to learn is to make your own maps with basic scripting in them. Be sure you know a little about Basic DOOM mapping first.

Use Rick's scripting primer. From there, after you learn the basic structure of things, snoop around the wiki and experiment with commands. That's how I learned.

Look at other people's wads (ones with ACS, of course). Play through them first and then peek in the scripts lump so you'll know what (most of) the scripts do. Screw around with the ACS a little and see what happens; if you break something, you can always re-download the wad.

I agree. Another good option is to try creating your own scripts from scratch.
BTW: Here are some megawads with ACS:
Mock 2: The Speed of Stupid
DOTIMS
and
Super Sonic Doom (a little more advanced than the others)
