Resources for learning? (sh.itjust.works)

What are some good resources for learning how to create nodes. Say I want to get creative and make a solar powered node that I can stick on my car's roof rack. How do I even go about learning how to do that?

Quite a few guides for solar nodes on YouTube.

I think I'm not savy enough to follow along with most of them. I get a "rest of the fucking owl" feeling from a lot of them

Don’t sell yourself short. Watch a few different videos and you’ll see it’s the same pattern. Solar panel, battery, antenna, radio, enclosure. You can use Wago clips in places to skip soldering.

I appreciate your faith in me. Aside from YouTube videos, are there any books to learn from that you know of?
