If you learn AVX2 programming via highload, my impression is that NEON is quite similar. The main difference is the lack of movemask. You can read these[0] articles[1] about what to do instead. For SVE, prior to very recent versions of SVE, there was no tblq (pshufb equivalent) so I didn't have much hope for using it for general-purpose programming, though of course it would be fine for stuff like TFA.
