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

Then frequentist statistics: Chester Ismay, Albert Y. Kim, and Arturo Valdivia - https://moderndive.com/v2/ Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel and Johanna Hardin - https://openintrostat.github.io/ims/

Finally Bayesian: Johnson, Ott, Dogucu - 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. https://github.com/ASKurz/Working-through-Regression-and-oth...
