Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Applications to Computer Science

for more theoretical I'm planning to read: Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach

I didn't get Linear Algebra at university for a long time. Computer Graphics (2D and 3D) helped with this, since I'm a practical learner.

Other books assume you already know what they are talking about.

Indeed a great book. The best Math departments that I know also use this book to teach linear algebra.
