I have and got all the examples working, but i dont know where to start in learning the commands so that i can program my own code for this shield.

The examples have "examples" of the commands. If you want more info on what they do check out the .cpp and .h files in the library for the prototypes.

You can read them with a text editor or download a program that knows how to format c++ syntax http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
