Professional scripters would consult the Lua reference manual:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.4.7
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.6

There is also a friendlier guide on the official ROBLOX wiki concerning the use of local variables:

the . basically goes through stuff

so
workspace.hello.jobs

in workspace, find hello, then find jobs within hello.

local just means within a certain thing, more efficient if only using a variable within a method (function)
