The details are outdated now, I guess, but I don't know if there's any more inspiring reading for an aspiring graphics programmer than Fabian Giesen's "A trip through the graphics pipeline" https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/a-trip-through-the-graphics-pipeline-2011-index/ https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/a-trip-through-the-... As for a place to actually start, I think Computer Graphics From Scratch is a good place https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/ https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scrat.... A great thing about the book is it gives you many ideas for where to go next once you work your way through to the end.

The details are surprisingly still relevant. A lot has changed, but most of that (compute shaders, Ray tracing hardware, ...) is actually orthogonal to everything mentioned in this article or simply details changing in aspects glossed over. I still link people this article because I have yet to find anything which does a better job explaining these things.
