> the key part of the good books was the considered and mindful order of presentation

I'd always start with textbooks then flesh out the gaps with internet materials.

I felt "linear learning" from a veteran practitioner gave me a shortcut to how I should store the material and conceptualize the relationships between moving parts. Like surveying the land, putting foundations where an expert might put them, but then I was on my own for what knowledge to actually build.
