Learn scripting for rhino, where to start?

Hi,

I want to try scripting.
simple macros were always fine for me but lately they make my wip crash or behave unexpected.

usecase: renderbatch

I used to do it like this:
_SetViewToSpotlight _-SelName view01
_EnterEnd
_Render
_-SaveRenderWindowAs C:\folder\filename-01.png
_CloseRenderWindow

my method is to use turned off spotlights as views in the scene. I set up as much views/spotlights as I need and name/number them.
the macro just hops the view into the different spotlights, renders, saves and closes and then of course - repeats.
since a view wips this macro doesn't wait for the rendering to finish but instead immediately saves and closes the rendering - I need a more reliable approach now.

I hope you can just give me some tips where to start learning basic scripting for rhino. tutorials, etc.

EDIT:
I downloaded the "RhinoScript101" pdf but I'm not sure if this brings me to what I want.
should I start with Rhino-Python instead of RhinoScript?
