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?

The Comms Channel on YouTube is a good start. However, you might want to consider just running a node off the car battery instead of solar. The node will need very little current and won't bother the battery unless you leave your car parked without running for quite a long time.
