I agree with Fraser - training is a good way to learn AEM. You can also see the community articles/member blogs on the AEM community page:

There is a lot of articles, tutorials, videos, and so on that will show you how to work and build components in AEM. For example - to learn how to build your first AEM service -- see this article:

To learn how to work with the JCR API - see:
http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/programmatically-accessing-cq-content-using.html

To learn how to build your first component that supports Drag and Drop from the Content Finder- see:

Going through these will get you going. After that, there are more advanced ones that you can work through. 

Hope this helps.

IMHO this technology is way too complex (and subtle) to have a reasonable expectation that you will become professionally competent by following a self tuition approach. If you don't have anyone more experienced who can mentor you, get yourself booked at least on the introductory developer course that Adobe and/or it's partners provide. Trying to go it alone will mostly likely take a very long while and without a good grasp of the fundamentals you are more likely to take a wrong turn or two and get yourself into some bad habits and poor practice. This is an enterprise grade product, it deserves a level of training commitment commensurate with that investment.

To add an entirely self-serving comment, one of the engagement models we following in Adobe Consulting Services (and the same is true of many of our partners) is a mentoring model where we come in and set up the development process (adapting to whatever you already use, although we obviously have a perspective on what process works best for AEM projects) and tools (ditto) and then work over a period of weeks/months to transition development responsbility over to the customer team. In my experience, this (paired with training) leads to a solid outcome as developers are both being productive (which feels good) and learning (which has long term benefits).
