Welcome to the party!

The AppleScript Language Guide is the definitive reference for AppleScript.
It's googleable.

There are several excellent books written on AppleScript, below is a partial
list (from the AppleScript wiki page) the most recently released first.
Since I know several of the authors, personally or cyberly, I won't
recommend any one over another.
