Looking for advice on some resources or suggestions on how to start with programming for GPUs. I am 7 years into coding and I don’t know a thing about GPUs! I don’t know why this subject is not taught in schools.
Appreciate your support in helping me learn!

It is taught in schools! I graduated in 2012 and one of the classes I took was computer graphics, and it covered GPU rendering as well as (non-GPU) raytracing.

If you want to learn how GPUs work at a low level, I found NVIDIA's CUDA educational material very helpful. You'll need some existing computer systems background to get the most out of it. While the terminology and specific details of CUDA are NV-specific, the general concepts are common to all modern GPUs.

If you want to learn how to do graphics with GPUs, start by learning the general basics of 3D rendering (transformation matrices, shading, etc). That will help tremendously with learning OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX, which are the usual software interfaces. Under the hood they're using (mostly) the same low-level compute functionality as exposed by CUDA or OpenCL.

To what end? Are you planning to make video games? Do some physics experiments? Bitcoin mining? Do you want to build the GPUs drivers? All of which are pretty different segments of engineering.

Not planning any such thing! One of my interviewers asked me if I know about GPUs and I realized I don’t know anything. The resources over internet which I found is not well organized either. I wish to learn it step by step! It seems like a difficult topic! Any suggestions?
