I think the W3C working draft "Using WAI-ARIA in HTML" is rather
self-contained, to a person who roughly knows what HTML is about:
http://www.w3.org/TR/aria-in-html/

It does not explain much the motivation and theory. Instead, it's a
guide to actually using ARIA attributes in HTML, how to do it and what
to avoid. Abd it also contains a description of those attributes, not
complete in every detail, but probably quite sufficient for the vast
majority of cases.
