I have been using GNU/Linux for sometime now (Ubuntu and Fedora) and now I am trying to learn shell scripting from scratch. I need to choose the right documentation/links to start off with.

PS: I can create simple scripts and can understand slightly complex ones.

If you're looking for web resources I've found this to be helpful for most of my uses.

You should find Heiner's SHELLdorado a good starting point. Don't underestimate the manpages as an on-going resource, either, as you develop code.

Try getting these books: Classic Shell Scripting and bash Cookbook. They are both by O'Reilly. There is also tons of documentations and youtube videos online.

I have seen a post similar to this, where i answered the same as Livinglifeback with the tldp bash documentation. There was also some other great ones. Here is the link: How to get started with bash?.
