This tutorial was a great help to me when learning Jass:

From there learning vJass shouldn't be too much of an hassle, but of course you'll have to accept that coding takes practice.

Whats the difference between vJass and jass?

vJASS is an interface for JASS. It basically makes a coder's life easier by adding features such as libraries, globals, structs, etc. For example, being able to declare globals whenever you want:

globals
    unit u
endglobals

Is a lovely feature. Before vJASS, we had to use the variable editor (like GUI) which made implementation even harder than GUI.

Note that all vJASS will be converted to JASS through JASSHelper. Therefore, any person can play a map that was coded with vJASS. However, you need JNGP to be able to save a map with vJASS without getting errors.

The best way to learn vJASS is to start off with tutorials. We have a bunch in our JASS Tutorials section.

EDIT: Yeah, you might want to check out Nestharus' video tutorials.

You use a lot of reference to GUI which confuses me due to the lack of knowledge in that field ):
