In your shoes, I would suggest this book:

I came from Avid and tried to fake my way along in FCP at first. The week I spent with an earlier version of this book has saved me months of time since I finished it.

After you start feeling strong in FCP and the other studio apps, I suggest this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Studio-Spot-3rd/dp/0240810074

Short and dense – lots of signal and no noise.

More generally, I've found that trying to forget what I know about other editing applications is the first step to learning a new one.

Best of luck.
