> What book, set of articles, or YouTube series would you recommend as a first step in my learning?

I actually would suggest a step before this, which is to make this list for yourself. No one else knows where your knowledge gaps are, better than you. So identify topics in which you lack confidence, and find a primary source (ideally a book or written material, so that it can be referenced). Skim the chapters/headings, and pick a few that sound interesting. Explore rabbit holes.

After a few sessions, you’ll get a sense of where your gaps are and what interests you. From there, pursue your interests.
