Welcome to the forum.
As you can see they're suggested more in Github which is GitHub is a great place to collaborate with other developers and contribute to open-source projects related to Bitcoin and blockchain technology.  By participating with them, you can gain hands-on experience and build your technical skills.

You didn't mention which country you are but it seems Bitcoin.org (https://bitcoin.org.) supports many languages that you'll surely like.
In addition, here are the useful websites that you must know.

OP should have gotten the answer because some members above have provided many references that OP needs to learn the Technical Aspects of Bitcoin.

If you really want to focus on the technical aspects of Bitcoin, basic knowledge also needs to be known.
If you do not have initial knowledge of Bitcoin, it will not be an obstacle if you have to immediately learn Bitcoin Engineering and Development.

This forum is one of the most accurate sources you will need.
Getting involved in every discussion and discussing anything about Bitcoin technical developments will provide knowledge gradually.
It is very rare for beginners to want to get involved in Bitcoin development and technical discussions.

Deciding to go into the technical aspects of Bitcoin is like opening a pandora box. There will be lots of questions and technical challenges that you would face. One of the resources that come in handy whenever I have questions especially from the technical aspects is the Bitcoin Stack Exchange (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/). A question and answer site for people interested in Bitcoin and crypto-currency1. In my estimation it will be perfect for you in addition to the other resources that have been recommended.

The following website and book are suggested as a starting point:
https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

If you have a specific query, you might be able to find answers on this forum or at https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com just as other members have shared above.

You can also conduct a search on this forum using https://ninjastic.space/search, which is superior to the default search tool on this forum.

It's great that you have decided to go deep into the technical aspects of bitcoin.
I have myself decided the same and have already started reading "Mastering bitcoin 2nd edition".
As others have already mentioned there's already a plethora of information available for us to grasp.
Fortunately, we have all the resources and it's just the time that we have to put into it to go in deep.

Thanks for this, I have been thinking of this because since I started reading the mastering bitcoin, I have seen lots of amazing things that made me start questioning myself why didn't I read this book than reading blog posts about bitcoin and also have thought of creating a post where I can just ask questions relating to what I am learning but with this I don't need to worry about that much.

yeap the best info is in whitepapers. You'll see how much of a spagat is made by exchanges. Exchanges basically become the Middlemen which should be excluded in the Original whitepaper. P2P comes without middlemen.

That's for centralized exchanges that creates fake p2p for their customers because they still act as middlemen, so it is peer to centralized exchange, and then to the other peer. If you want to trade without middlemen, there are good decentralized exchanges that allows you to trade directly with the other peer, without the exchange holding your funds, Bisq and AgoraDesk are examples of true p2p exchange that you can use.
