We probably have many online resources that cover these topics but they are scattered. For example, Beam Summit and College talks on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ApacheBeamYT (Beam Summit slides can be found here: https://beamsummit.org/) and https://www.youtube.com/@BeamCollege ( https://beamcollege.dev/sessions/ has the slides).
We also have been collecting any design or discussion doc under https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/master/contributor-docs/discussion-docs It will be great if you can share more with the community with your learning. Anyway, not particular links for you but I hope they can give you some places to check out.
