Where To Start With Applescript

I want to record my adventure with learning Applescript.
The Apple manual says to first begin with "Getting Started With AppleScript".
Where was that? I couldn't yet find it. But I have found several good places to start.

First is the Mac Library volume "Introduction to Applescript Overview" here:
http://17.254.2.129/mac/library/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptX/AppleScriptX.html

"Applescript the First Step" here:
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/index.html

Then the Applescript Wiki here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript

And last but not least the Applescript forum here:
