Well, which is better is a bit of an ongoing discussion. Most people seem to prefer WinDinkEdit though some stick with DinkEdit. Personally I think WinDinkEdit is more intuitive and easier to pick up. So for a beginner I'd definitely recommend WinDinkEdit.
As for scripting, I learned it by copying scripts from other DMODs then putting them into my own DMOD and see what they did. Then I edited them until they worked. (Just changing some variables and inserting pieces of code from other DMODs, no self writen code at this point...)
Reading through Rudiments of scripting will definitely help, it's pace is rather slow so a beginner should be able to pick it up. From memory it did require some basic knowledge of the editor though.
Good luck!
