The documentation on the main site is spectacularly good, in my opinion:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/index.html

My input for how to move forward with learning Pg:

   - Download the server and install it.
   - Pick some interesting data projects that you want to solve
   - Work through the docs to get your orientation
   - Use GPT4-o (or Claude 3.5 Sonnet) and Stackoverflow to help you figure
   out any details that you get stuck on
   - Use this list to get help when you can't move forward
