I felt like sharing some cool resources I've found through the years intended for absolute beginners and/or hobbyist devs.

Game Engines DB: made to assist developers to find the adjusted tool for their ideas.

Engines Database

An open database of Game Engines

enginesdatabase.com

Computer & Programming Basics: it works both as a right-to-the-point introduction to several CS concepts, as well as a glossary to those who don't exactly intend to start coding, but would like to express or situate themselves better into CS talks.

Git Hub for non-programmers: is a version control roadmap for any projects that don't necessarily relate to programming.

GitHub - tvanantwerp/github-for-non-programmers: A guide to using GitHub for people who don't code and don't want to code.

Developing a Learning Framework: would assist folks into developing the adequate environment to learn something, which might be useful for hobbyist development incursions.

MIT/EdX introductory course on Game Design:
PS: just got to see this one has been archived, but iirc I've enrolled by the time so I still have access to the materials if anyone's interested... not hard to find a replacement on EdX either way
