WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I'd also recommend starting a little renderer project in order to try out the things you learn. You can base this off either the lectures or chapters above, or tutorials like learnopengl.com (which is indeed OpenGL-specific, but does go into a lot of graphics fundamentals nonetheless).
Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.
Once you're beyond the "introductory" phase, resources become more specialized based on what you'd like to learn -- there are Vulkan tutorials like https://vkguide.dev/ which will teach you the API and also give a bit more insight in how modern GPU hardware is structured, there are books like the "GPU Zen" series that do deep-dives on specific techniques, and there are tons of recorded GDC and SIGGRAPH talks on interesting new techniques. :)
I’m getting started too in graphics programming (web developer here) and I’ve started with the Raytracing in One Week-end, I find it to be great (I use ChatGPT along the tutorial to exchange and ask questions when I struggle). Other than that I also bought the OpenGL bible book and the book Computer Graphics from Scratch that you can both find on Amazon, they’re really great.
