Buy a non-distro specific text on Linux, first, to establish a good foundation for additional learning. Don't waste your time searching the web for information. There is a lot of stuff out there, and it will just overwhelm and confuse you. I suggest RUNNING LINUX (O'Reilly, pub.). I think the most current is the 5th edition, which although is 5 years old is still a good place to start. I have the 3rd Edition which is 12 years old and I still use it as a reference. It was the first Linux book I purchased. Worry about programming "projects" later. Until you know how Linux works, you'd be wasting your time coding for it now.
