I prefer to learn from books, and for that I recommend AppleScript: The Missing Manual. It'll be free if you get it from the library.

I have that book, it's great and I highly recommend it!

Update

So i checked out my library and they dont have it and cant get it for 8 months!!! i also checked barnes and nobel and they dont have it and i will have to special order it.
i need to learn quite a bit of applescript by friday for a class project
i really need an online resource for applescript please help

I would count AS as a programming language however you will find its limits, most of my programs were coded in AS such as the popular MultiAlarm which now has reached the limits of AS and will need a recode.

Anywho applescript.net was a nice resource and helped with most things but i would just say experiment and look at other projects for help
