What resources do you recommend to "instruct" myself?

Most know it as "Google".  Get to reading.

Here is a good resource: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/#/overview

It's a lot of reading but hope this helps you.

I'd suggest that you start here: https://bitcoin.org/en/faq#mining and maybe read the entire FAQ as it includes everything you need to know about Bitcoin in general in an easily comprehensible manner.
This page here: https://www.bitcoinmining.com/getting-started/ is an up-to-date step-by-step guide on how to start mining Bitcoin. It includes some other resources that you should check out as well. It's also what the bitcoin.org FAQ suggests under the 'what do I need to start mining?' question.

Is it still profitable?

Not really. Better to start mining alternative currencies.

Check this website: https://whattomine.com.
Based on experience, do some research first and pick a currency with a lot of potential and a low (or not that high) difficulty.
I always use https://coincheckup.com/ as a main source for research.
