Default ESC? Motor? Battery???????????

Hi...been flying glow for a few years now. Bought my first electric kit and it recommends an AXI 2212/20 Brushless motor with Pheonix 25amp ESC and 3s2p Lipos. I understand the basics of current consumption but not all of this! What does 3s2p Lipos mean? How do I know what amp ESC to use for a motor? Will it burn out if not sufficent? Are you better to go higher in amps to be safe? With a multimeter how do I connect it up to measure the current draw. Sorry for all the questions but I want to understand all this so I dont blow up/ burn things out!!
Is there an article some where that covers all this?

Thankyou in advance for being patient with a beginner........[8D]
