The Hackpack is divvied up into 5 sections.
The point of novels is that they're more receational in nature, compared to papers. Novels offer less scientific perspectives which can help develop your intuition, that in turns helps foster new insights in practice and research.
MOOCs (Massively Open, Online Courses) are online classes, some a free, others are non-free; ultimately, these are great starting points, as most of these courses aren't advanced in nature.
Papers are typically the output of research. These are typically rather involved, in terms of your understanding. Although you can read these without any prior understanding, we'd suggest that you avoid that, as the terminology may function as a deterrant.
Textbooks are what you expect, they come in two flavors, specific and general – the general textbooks are like most, where they cover an entire field; while specific textbooks cover a particular topic, sometimes to a great depth.
Tutorials are blogs and YouTube channels. Blogs are essentially a way to "keep up with the times" about the latest, sometimes popular, advancements in the field. YouTube channels tend to be more informative, in terms of being a way to learn that isn't contained, like a MOOC; but some are vlogs.
