Cool, sounds like this is very much needed!

Since you are already familiar with programming, I suggest the book
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming.
It's available for free online:

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

With modern editing:

It's available as a Texinfo manual which is packaged in Guix.

Finally, the video recordings of the class are insightful and to the
