Where to begin?

As our business expands, I'm finding more needs for customization, improvisation, and other words that end in 'ation'.

I've noticed throughout my searches that Suitescript is often referenced and used to circumvent limitations within NS.

I have a very basic understanding of programming, as I've taken courses in HTML, C++, a tiny bit of Unix. I understand the gist of programming as far as arguments and syntax are concerned. Anyway, my knowledge (or lack thereof) is hardly sufficient to begin generating anything in Suitescript. From what I can tell, Suitescript seems to be a derivative of Java?

Where exactly is the proverbial 'square one'? I'm looking for any resources at all to start at the VERY beginning, and my ultimate goal is to start generating scripts in order to customize our business. I know this is an extremely broad question, but I just want to get some recommendations on where to begin.

Howdy, Stranger!
