When I started to learn about the Lightning Network I started pretty much from 0. In particular I had pretty much no idea how Bitcoin worked. So I will argue it is possible to learn about bitcoin on the way and you can do it given a computer science or math or physics or engineering background.
As for the resources:
- Mastering the Lightning Network is available to read online
- There is a 300 pages slide deck on which Mastering the Lightning Network heavily builds upon. A presentation of the slide deck has been recorded in 3 videos with a total runtime of 4.5 hours. Video 1, Video 2, and video 3
- Chaincode labs made a seminar series together with recorded videos. Though I'd argue that the discussed protocoal stack has been superceeded by the one presented in mastering the Lightning network
- On my youtube channel you find a lot of technical videos about the Lightning Network
- If you want to go really deep it makes sense to look at the bolts repository where the Lightning Network Protocol is being defined.
- Similarly you can read through the lightning-dev mailinglist.
- The Bitcoin Optech Newsletter also has a regular section about the recent progress of the Lightning Network.
- On my way I learned everything that I needed to know about bitcoin from the Bitcoin wiki
- Nowadays there are many podcasts that are mainly focused around the Lightning Network. eg: connect the world, lightning junkies or kevin rooke.
Last but not least my - not so secret - pro trick: Once I decided to regularly answer questions about the Lightning Network here on stack exchange I was forced to look up stuff in the bolts. So you could certainly subscribe to the lightning-network tag here on this site or go through the questions that have been asked and even challenge or improve the answers.
