1) Scripting for Script Authors -
- PSP X8 http://dwnld.paintshoppro.com/member/PS ... tGuide.exe
- PSP X6 http://howto.corel.com/en/c/Where_To_Fi ... hop_Pro_X6
- PSP X: ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/documentation/P ... uthors.zip
The information is very close in both. I'm unsure of an exact comparison.
2) Scripting API - This is a complete list of all of the built in commands for PSP, the parameters for those commands, and the constants used to define them. This one is a bit harder. They made an API for X6 as well but I can't find a download for that at all.
- Version X - ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/documentation/P ... andAPI.zip
- Version XI - ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/documentation/P ... andAPI.zip
- Version X6 - I have requested a link from Corel. And will post that here. Until then here's a copy of the X6 command API https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FlFL ... sp=sharing
- Version X8 - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8FlF ... 29la2FyYmM
3) Learn the Basics of Python
- Posted by Rick_R - http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/ ... cises.html On sale, the course sells for around US$65. The only difference between the download and DVD's is whether you get physical disks and a physical coursebook.

SOME OTHER USEFUL SCRIPT RESOURCE LINKS
Pixelnook (Gary Barton's Scripts - Free) - The site has since closed up shop but all of the scripts can be found here:

NOTE: Gary Barton's Pause Script is a "must have" to create scripts with multiple steps where you want to pause at intervals to do something that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to do from within the script. This might include, for example, aesthetic cropping, image alignment, text attribute selection, etc.
The Pause Script can be found in the PixelNook script download linked above
