Welcome to bitcointalk, I'm also learning about bitcoin and I think this is the best way to start learning about Blockchain. Here are some resources:
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (since you are a newbie you would need this first)

[Guide] Searching effectively (there are so many post that would answer your question and understanding how to search effectively in this Forum is an easy to get them)

Learning about blockchain technology can be broader than just learning about Bitcoin. Some of the members above have provided information links that might help you start learning about both (Bitcoin and Blockchain).

Even though you can get the information through the Bitcointalk forum, the material is likely spread across several threads.

The following are some of the links that I tried to collect regarding Blockchain and Bitcoin on Bitcointalk;
(I tried to search through the Ratimov post archive - Beginners & Help Encyclopedia):
● [GUIDE] Sidechains | bitcoin blockchain by Husires
● multi-chain blockchain ecosystem is risky by _act_
● [Guide] Using Blockchain Explorers by Pokapoka124
● Becoming a Blockchain Developer by Dunamisx
● Big Library of Bitcoin & Blockchain Online Courses by Davidvictorson
● The List of Popular and free blockchain bitcoin observers. by Accardo

However, if you want to learn more about Blockchain and Bitcoin, I suggest you read books or take courses focusing on them.

I also learn from online courses, including:
● https://www.udemy.com/course/blockchain-and-bitcoin-fundamentals/
● https://www.udemy.com/course/build-your-blockchain-az/

You can also learn more advanced from here:

I'd stay away from [.]bitcoin[.]com and would not recommend it to people wanting to learn more about Bitcoin even if the page you suggested were good. This site has a malicious past and is run by a malicious person that created a shitcoin commonly known as bcash and tried to sell it to newbies who visited his site as "bitcoin" itself.

Here's the knowledge iceberg, IMO:

Level 0: Start off by visiting bitcoin.org.
Level 1: Learn me a bitcoin: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/.
Level 2: Mastering bitcoin: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook.
Level 3: Ask questions in here and in StackExchange. Also, study the devguide.
Level 4: Documentation of Bitcoin Core: https://doxygen.bitcoincore.org/index.html.

General course around cryptography can also be helpful: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/courses/OnlineCrypto/.

You didn't just help only the (Op) you just helped me and others. I've been looking for such links. Concerning Bitcoin core and other technical part about bitcoin.
I'm still basing on the wallet part but with those links I think my learnings process will be faster and more affective now learning different sources just the best and this forum will direct you on that.

Learning about blockchain technology can be broader than just learning about Bitcoin

You're Damn right about that. Learning about  Bitcoin can take you hours or days While  learning about blockchain technology can take a lot of time and process. Depending on the reader understandings.

At least start from some, make research about bitcoin and take time to read from here, you're lucky to have made this early discovery about bitcoin and the forum here where to learn, i have few threads to suggest for you that may help, you can learn about blockchain technology and also developed your understanding about how it works along with bitcoin network, make sure you're reading through all the links already provided.

When you decide to create an account on the Bitcointalk forum, that's where you start to learn. Majoring at university does not determine whether someone can easily learn about Bitcoin, it all depends on how strong your desire to learn it is. Reliable investors and seniors who have been involved in the Bitcoin field for a long time were also newbies at first, in the same position as you are now.

You have a great opportunity to become a reliable investor who can analyze Bitcoin movements before making a decision. Here you only need to read all the topics attached to other members' comments to increase your knowledge and insight about Bitcoin. As long as you do it consistently and the desire to learn about Bitcoin continues to grow within you, sooner or later you will master all elements related to Bitcoin.

Some posts with many educational resources for OP to learn.

Nobody mentioned these ones

Resources and Tools for debugging and simulating Bitcoin Scripts
Bitcoin Optech
https://github.com/igorbarinov/awesome-bitcoin
https://bitcoindevlist.com/

The last website is a hub of most prominent Bitcoin developers and they contribute to Bitcoin Core software and build their own projects that are helpful and deserve to learn.

At first we here also asked the same thing, as time went by we continued to learn and learn. to increase our knowledge here, especially about Bitcoin and other things related to Bitcoin/Crypto/blockchain and the like.

For this reason, I am personally happy that there are still newcomers who want to know a lot about Bitcoin. For this reason, Bitcoin has now become a topic of conversation and is featured on the main page of every internet media, Google, magazines and so on, it is easy for you to learn and understand.

So maybe you can start first LEARN BITCOIN BASICS: A SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF HOW BITCOINS WORK AND HOW TO USE THEM, and further A quick introduction to Bitcoin, what is needed next Everything You Need To Know About Bitcoin, For this reason, several members here have shown many things that you want to know, the information above is just additional information for you to understand further, hopefully it is useful.

What I will suggest to you right now is that you should make a proper investigation concerning what you want through Internet because nothing you want from Google that you will not find, also take advice of the senior colleagues that will help you to actualize your objectives, so therefore it's well known that what you are asking for university can not give to you from my own understanding of blockchain technology, I know quite that its to ask a question of this kind in the forum but nevertheless you have to be observant by going true all the responses or reply of everyeone

As a student studying cloud computing, you can totally explore blockchain at the same time.  The stuff in your classes like distributed systems and encryption and consensus methods relates to blockchain anyway.  You're already learning things that cross over into blockchain behind the scenes.

No reason a student couldn't pursue both interests in parallel - maybe even discover innovative ways they intersect.

I think, you are in the right direction OP and all you need to do now is to start developing more attention to those links Senior members, and within some months you will begin to see some positive results that will give you joy that will make you progress in the forum. Now that you got many answers in your thread, don't forget to always follow the rules and regulations that governed the forum which are some of the things that will make you stay long and enjoy the benefits that attached to those that obeyed the rules and regulations of the forum. Since you said you are a student, I believe it will be easy for you to grow faster in the future because there are something that related to some of the things you have been thought in school those days that will make you to catch up on time.

This is a serious one. I don't think I ever heard of this before. It more like a wickedness. How will you want to sell a shitcoin as Bitcoin for people. Not even ordinary people but also your website visitors. I think such site can mislead someone in this crypto space.
