learn scripting in 2.5 question

I want to start learning how to do basic scripting in blender 2.5 but I’ve heard that the API is still changing and breaks scripts. Is that still the case? I’m not a programmer and really just want to automate simple tasks and such.

Are there any good resources out there that cover scripting in 2.5 and still work? I know there are a few that cover scripting in 2.5 but I’m new to scripting and would probably not recognize a user error and a error due to changes in blender.

so… thoughts? suggestions?
