I seem to remember a similar topic.
Now, I realize how ironic this is going to sound, but I actually started through the godfather script. Basically dissecting different parts. Looking up unknown functions on the wiki along the way. It was a huge leap for me when I finally understood how format works.
After that, it was no longer a question about how it's done, but why it's done. This is a turning point. If you start questioning the abilities of the scripter and are able to do something in a better way then you've effectively outperformed said scripter.
It has to be said though: you require at least some logical insight. If you're completely new to any kind of programming, but don't realize within 10 minutes that a block of code starts with { and ends with } then you're not going to get very far. Other languages use keywords instead of braces, but the same principle applies.
