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:
http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/
It's available as a Texinfo manual which is packaged in Guix.
Finally, the video recordings of the class are insightful and to the
point:

Cheers!
