You don't need to know much, really. Just mess with stuff and try to figure out what everything does and then try to make some of your own stuff.

If you want to make 'advanced' 3D presets than having a good knowledge of 3D graphics programming will help too since you can convert a lot of techniques (things like raytracing, lighting, projective shadowing, blended fog, hidden surface removal) to avs in some cases.

i agree with jheriko. i've learnt everything i know from...

1. UnConeD
2. El-Vis
3. Nemorange

... with a little bit of guesswork and trial and error thrown in.
You have to admit that is a short list.
