First DIY Drone Questions!
Since you mentioned programming, one other thing you should consider is the firmware. FPV drones typically run the betaflight firmware. betaflight is fairly mature, feature-rich and is aimed at racers and freestyle pilots. If you’re looking more to tinker with programing, you could start with this instead of a more standard flight controller: https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight

Book on programming my own autopilot
I have similar aspirations. No books, but if you want an example of someone who’s done that before, check out drhemflight. It’s not fully autonomous, but it’s a modular flight stabilizer running on teensy, which uses arduino IDE
- Does anyone know about a good avionics related open source project for learning purposes?

Seeking Advice and Help in Creating a Custom Flight Controller for My Mini Programmable Drone
There's several flight control systems on Github, such as Ardupilot, for example. I wouldn't undertake this without checking out what's already out there, all the way down to simple stabilization systems.

Ask HN: Best programmable drone / open source OS?
To add to this, most of the time one doesn't need to hack on the drone firmware itself. Just configuring/hacking the mission planner alone would go a long way: https://ardupilot.org/planner/
But if you're interested in more readable codebases without too much legacy headaches:
https://github.com/BossHobby/QUICKSILVER (for indoor drones mostly)
And for even less functionality but a good learning tool kind of codebase:

What did you wish you knew before making your own drone from scratch?
dRehmFlight is about the simplest a flight controller can get (in terms of code readability).
