The Rudiments of Scripting (TROS) ís a good beginners tutorial.

I assume you have already read and studied Develop, DinkC, Readme and Tut1. I also assume you have downloaded some D-mods from the Dink Network and played them and that you have downloaded all the tutorials and files available from the network. And I also assume the basics of creating a map using an editor hold no secrets for you anymore. If you have not done that, please do, because that really is essential and you need to know the basics before you can proceed. The files and tutorials I’ve mentioned are very good but study is involved!

readme.txt and develop.txt aren't really interesting, though it's an introduction to what you'll be able to do. The former DinkC.txt (now DinkC.chm, since 1.08), is a helpful reference, but not something necessary to TROS. Following tut1.txt is good practice and once you've done this, TROS will not seem as daunting, but should even be follow-able without doing it.

Those files mentioned are, in this case, meant only as an introduction to what is possible. But generally, if you really want to learn to script, you'll absorb any tutorial you have. TROS is a good one for starters, right after tut1.txt.
