open the script editor when you are doing stuff in maya and you will see that maya is running all it is doing is running a series of MEL commands (turn on "echo all commands" in the script editor to see what I'm talking about).

That's the best place to start. then check out the docs I think there's some stuff in there.

Also look at other people's scripts. Some are very well commented so you might learn loads from them...
