If you are looking for books, any of the O’Reilly books are good. A worthwhile investment is an O’Reilly online subscription, which gives you access to all their books plus video tutorials, so you get the best of both worlds.
For the price of three or four of their technical books, you get their full library, and if you really get into this, you’ll need to dive into many other topics anyway.
