Ducksong: another approach is to find a command you find interesting and then search for it inside the "config" subfolder of your installation.
I tried to coordinate with other cubescript-tutorial-writes on the cube.wikispaces.com site, but sadly we all have our own approach and could never boil all the different intitial pieces down into one grand tutorial - also that wiki is geared toward Sauerbraten (Cube 2) so it's only partially useful for AC. The CubeScript basics are, of course, the same - but the set of commands and some special-usage-stuff does require some "translation", at times.
Our own wiki is a good place to start a combined effort to help newcomers to get into AC-CubeScript. I'd suggest using the "Talk:"-page of any tutorial-ly wiki-page to ask for someone to explain anything in particular you might want.
You can also come to the IRC-channel and ask, there's often somebody with some experience in scripting on there - but as always with IRC: you have to be patient, don't just join and leave if nobody answers you in under a minute. It can take 15-30 mins. until the more active people check the backlog of the channel of what happened while they were busy coding, playing or mapping.
