I mostly learnt from the docs and tutorials on adobe.com.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/ is the place to start.
I also got the Actionscript 3 Cookbook and "Actionscript 3 with  
`Design Patterns". While those are good, I found myself mostly using  
the downloadable Flex 3 Language Reference docs for both AS3 and  
MXML. Download the Flex 3 SDK and its associated docs and it  
shouldn't be too hard to get into it. Incidentally, if you have Flash  
CS3, you can use its debugger with your Flex apps. Just tell it to  
start a remote debug session.
My TextMate flex workflow is based around bundle actions that run the  
Flex SDK command line compiler and the AIR debug player.
