Although AGS's scripting language is similar to C, C++, BASIC, Java, C#, etc. (some to higher degrees than others), it isn't directly derived from any of them. AGS's scripting language is a custom language written by Chris Jones (Pumaman). Any programming book would help you to better understand some of the basic concepts of programming, though AGS bears the most semblance to the C languages (C, C++, C#).

Or, the official online manual (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/). Personally I think the offline chm file is the best for navigation (It's just not print friendly).
