Here is one path to learn Bayesian starting from basics, assuming modern R path with tidyverse (recommended):
First learn some basic probability theory:
Peter K. Dunn (2024). The theory of distributions. https://bookdown.org/pkaldunn/DistTheory https://bookdown.org/pkaldunn/DistTheory
Then frequentist statistics:
Chester Ismay, Albert Y. Kim, and Arturo Valdivia - https://moderndive.com/v2/ https://moderndive.com/v2/
Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel and Johanna Hardin - https://openintrostat.github.io/ims/ https://openintrostat.github.io/ims/
Finally Bayesian:
Johnson, Ott, Dogucu - https://www.bayesrulesbook.com/ https://www.bayesrulesbook.com/
This is a great book, it will teach you everything from very basics to advanced hierachical bayesian modeling and all that by using reproducible code and stan/rstanarm
Once you master this, next level may be using brms and Solomon Kurz has done full Regression and Other Stories Book using tidyerse/brms. His knowledge of tidyverse and brms is impressive and demonstrated in his code.

- thefringthing 1y agoI would include Richard McElreath's _Statistical Rethinking_ here after, or in combination with, _Bayes Rules!_. A translation of the code parts into the tidyverse is available free online, as are lecture videos based on the book.
