I forgot to mention the best way to learn these type of things is to start playing with it.(Start working rather than reading books) I do not know if you experienced this in past but this is a good way.
Pick up a project and start working on it. (For example you can start with file system development such as ext4 that would be easiest ) or try to make your own filesystem.It is easy. In such projects when you will start doing you will be able to see a distance of 5 meters only but when you cover these 5 meters then another 5 meters you will see like this if you keep on progressing you will reach your goal.
