There are some introduction video’s to start with if you are a novice user. Then, depending on your need you can take separate video’s. But I would start with all the video’s on http://www.scriptcase.net/watch-scriptcase-video-courses/

It will show you a lot about the working of scriptcase. I might take some time to watch them all, but I’m sure it will save you a tremendous time afterwards.
