There are any number of online introductions to electronics but I haven't looked at any of them. When you already understand things it can be hard to judge what will make sense to someone who doesn't, plus different approaches to explanation work for different people.
On the programming front python is reasonably approachable way to start. They link to a bunch of tutorials aimed at different experience levels, so you should be able to find something at the right level.

Excellent. Already downloaded the book, will start the python guides and be puttering around the forums. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. With so much information nowadays it can be hard to know where to start.

I think this is great, and it's as much as we can go for now (AFAIK the 3/4/5G protocols/modem are unfortunately off reach for regulatory reasons).
If you are interested and want to help this is the link: https://www.pine64.org/2020/10/28/nutcra...-wifi-ble/
Thanks for pointing me to this. The project is absolutely necessary. Will get involved as best I can as my skill level evolves.
And thank you everyone else for all the great input. I suspect I'll be here for the long haul
