Hi,

if you want documentation about irule coding, go to devcentral... 🙂

irule language is tcl but F5 added commands and variables.

most of commands are explained in the irule wiki (you can enter these two words in the search bar on the top of this page). if you go on wiki home page, there are some links for irule beginners.

if you use a unix system (linux, Mac OS X, F5, ...), you can start tcl shell 

tcsh
to validate commands (except irule special commands and variables)
