    I know you specifically asked for coding related material, but I just can’t pass the opportunity to suggest this awesome and humoristic (yet honestly one of the most informative “for dummies”) book that explains how computers and code work:

    J Clark Scott’s “But How Do It Know”.

    It’s still relevant and gives you a solid understanding of fundamentals in a funny and easy-to-read way to understand computers (and software) on a level that doesn’t drain you.

    It’s a relatively short book, so it wont overwhelm you if you are just looking to dip your toes into the topic - yet it gives you all you need if you want to dig deeper.
