It can be quite a rabbit hole when you find that he's up to 38 pages of weekly roundup links going back to 2017.

I think the best place to start is by getting your hands dirty with a real deal API. https://learnopengl.com/ is a great place for that. Oh and the best part is that the book is FREE. You'll need to be comfortable with C++, but even without in-depth knowledge of the language, the tutorial takes you quite far.
This is the most thorough resource I’ve found: https://www.scratchapixel.com/ Though admittedly it is a bit chaotically organized. That one combined with the ray tracing in 1 weekend series is a good start.
I'm a little surprised no one has recommended the Frank Luna books. They're great introductory books. I used the DX9/DX10 books during my education when writing my game engines. I haven't read the DX12 book, but DX9/10/11 were basically the same structure only updated for the new APIs. https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-3D-Game-Programming-Dire...

If textbooks are more your vibe, OP, I’d also look into Real Time Rendering. Solid foundations with later chapters delving into modern techniques. They keep their editions fairly fresh too!
