The best way to learn is to play people's campaigns and see how they did their triggering. Especially new campaigns that are one or two mission into it. You can watch as they develop and pick up tricks and ideas. Don't get ambitious on your own maps at first...especially with terrain or data. Just try to make something similar to one of your favorite Blizz maps or custom campaign maps. Heck, you can just take any of the 100 of Blizz maps and use their terrain and make you own mission on it!!
Make sure to leave feedback on custom campaigns so once you make your own maps people will want to help you out by playtesting and giving good critiques.
Be sure to check out the extension mod: Hots Custom Map support on NA and EU, Despite the name it greatly expands the roster of options for the default 3 races and is updated all the way to NCO.
SC, best game ever. I want to learn about custom campaign. Multiplayer its ok, but campaign it's a whole universe to explore. (Im a bad player XD).
Well, I don't know much about the map editor, i work with sound and music. So, if someone needs music or foley i can help.
Saludos!
Campaign is mostly triggers and data. Understand those and most of the magic becomes understandable.

GLHF!
PS I recommend Crimson Moon by Evindl as a campaign that has simple triggering, but cool terrain and story as a jumping-off point.

If you are planning to play and leave feedback just like Hockleberry's suggest here is the one thing you should avoid :
Don't do a one liner like that. Like seriously.
My projects : The Hammer of Dawn, Noir : Automata, Noir : Evolution, Noir : Ascension, Hammer of Dawn Revamp
Many awesome projects : Custom Campaign Initiative
