VideoCopilot keeps coming up - do bear in mind that guy and his site are really geared towards visual effects first and foremost. It even says so in the header graphic on the site. And there are some real differences between vfx work and fundamental animation and mograph concepts.
But then again, JJ Abrams hired him to do the title sequences for both "Fringe" and "Star Trek," so he does have his game down.
I'd echo to try and stay away from plugins, at least getting started. With CS4 there's very little you can't do in the native AE app.
However, that said, Trapcode's Form and Particular plugins are kind of industry standard at this point for creating particle systems. They are both very versatile, so when you do get into extensions, those are both money in the bank.
