Aside from learning the basic commands. What is the best scripting language to use for 3par.?
That's a loaded question, like Ford vs Chevy, or FC vs ISCSI... but I will bite.
The 3PAR commands are exactly the same if you SSH into the Inserv, run them from Windows, or from Linux.
If you're an old school windows guy who likes the DOS command line, use that. If you're a younger Windows guy, use the power shell (however, I am not sure that 100% of the 3PAR functionality exists there yet, haven't used powershel yet myself)... if you're a linix/unix guy the BASH shell probably be your best option. If you are none of the above and are ready to learn any of the 3, I suggest you first figure out where these scripts will run from in your environment. Will you run them from your windows PC or schedule them to run from a unix box in the datacenter?
I personally prefer bash shell, however, I do most of my work from a windows pc so I use DOS batch files the most.
