Does anyone know any other good resources (esp. books) on this subject? (Clifford/geometric algebra)

In addition to gibsonf1's recommendations (not books), the following books are good. The first 2 are more pure introductions to the math, the third is applying it to physics, the fourth to CS.

Linear and Geometric Algebra, by Alan Macdonald: http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/laga/

Vector and Geometric Calculus, by Alan Macdonald: http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/vagc/index.html

Application to physics: New Foundations for Classical Mechanics by David Hestenes: https://books.google.com/books/about/New_Foundations_for_Cla...

Geometric Algebra For Computer Science by Dorst, Fontijne, and Mann: http://www.geometricalgebra.net/index.html

I highly recommend https://bivector.net/

In the docs section, the Geometric Algebra Primer by Jaap Suter is excellent. http://www.jaapsuter.com/geometric-algebra.pdf

A survey of geometric algebra and geometric calculus, A Macdonald - Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, 2017 - Springer

I'm currently going through Geometric Algebra for Physicists, and find it exceedingly clear:
