Hello y’all! I’ve always been interested in computers and programming for as long as i can remember, but recently i’ve decided to try to get into some of the deeper stuff behind that, into the wonderful world of electronics. Where should I start? What courses or books or youtube series should I consume? What are some high-quality forums, communities, blogs, etc. to learn from?

I agree with the Arduino approach for learning: try something that immediately gives feedback.

On a more concrete example you can start with Make: Electronics book by Charles Platt. PDF of the first edition (2009) is available from Makezine's own CDN. The book encourages learning by discovery. The leading text makes it clear:

Burn things out, mess things up—that's how you learn.
